Courage & Hope Scholarship
A cancer diagnosis can be incredibly scary and life-changing, not only for the person living with it, but also for their loved ones.
It can be particularly difficult for children to watch their parents fight against cancer. In addition to the emotional challenges that come with worrying about one’s parents, many young people also deal with rapid changes to their family dynamics. From seeing a parent suffer to watching them undergo the effects of chemotherapy, surgery, or other treatments, the parent-child relationship often changes. On top of everything else, the medical bills can quickly pile up and become overwhelming, making it difficult to afford daily living expenses, much less college tuition.
This scholarship seeks to support students whose families have been affected by breast cancer and the high costs of treatment.
Any high school senior in southern Nevada who will pursue further education after high school may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have a parent who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
To apply, tell us how your parent’s diagnosis and treatment have impacted your personal growth and your family. Additionally, upload a photo of you with your parent who had or has breast cancer.
In what ways has your parent’s diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer impacted your personal growth and your family dynamics?
