Sharra Rainbolt Memorial Scholarship
A cancer diagnosis can be a life-shattering experience for the person involved and their family.
In addition to the emotional turmoil of battling cancer or watching a loved one struggle with it, funding years of treatments comes at great expense, often leaving little money for financing a college education. As a result, it can be difficult for students who have been touched by cancer to continue pursuing their academic dreams.
This scholarship seeks to support students who have been personally impacted by cancer so they can continue working toward their dreams.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who has personally had cancer or has an immediate family member who has battled cancer may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us how your family has been impacted by cancer and what this experience has taught you.
How has your family been affected by cancer and what have you learned through that experience?
