Eligibility Requirements
Education Level:
High school, undergraduate, or graduate student
Background:
Has/had a parent with cancer

Students that have witnessed and cared for, then ultimately lost a parent with cancer have experiences uniquely different from their peers.

This scholarship seeks to give those students who have been touched by cancer a little boost in college and to let them know that they are seen, and we're proud of them, just as their parent is. We want them to go out and do good things…we’re cheering for them!

In honor of Ryan R. Lusso, a devoted father and husband who was curious and passionate about life, love and his people…the gregarious extrovert who never met a stranger.

Any high school, undergraduate, or graduate student who has or had a parent diagnosed with cancer may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, write a short note telling us how your experience with your parent’s cancer journey has impacted who you are.

Selection Criteria:
Ambition, Drive, Impact
