Brad Hinshaw Memorial Scholarship
Brad Hinshaw was a beloved husband who sadly passed away after a battle with lung cancer, leaving behind two teenage children.
Cancer touches many lives every day, affecting not just the life of the sick person but also their family and loved ones. Losing a parent to cancer can be a traumatic experience that can have lifelong effects on a child. The stress and sadness of a parent passing is hard enough, but watching a parent struggle and suffer from illness can be particularly difficult to handle.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Brad Hinshaw by supporting students who have been impacted by cancer.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who has lost a parent to cancer may apply for this scholarship if they have at least a 3.0 GPA.
To apply, tell us your favorite thing about the parent you’ve lost and how their passing has affected you.
Please share what you loved most about the parent that you've lost and how their loss due to cancer has impacted you.
