Applicants must have lived in the same household as the patient during treatment and be enrolled in or accepted to an accredited U.S. undergraduate or graduate program.
Each of the three awards provides $2,000 for tuition and/or room and board, plus a laptop or tablet. Funds are paid directly to the recipient's college or university.
Submit the full application with a physician's letter verifying the sibling's medical history, at least one academic recommendation, and a 500-word essay on how childhood cancer impacted your life and career goals.
