About this scholarship
High school juniors who were diagnosed with pediatric cancer before age 18 and live in or receive treatment in the Delaware Valley may apply for Michael's Way full four-year tuition scholarships. Two awards cover tuition only at partner colleges. Applicants must plan to enroll at a partner institution for fall 2027 admission.
Submit applications May 1 through August 31 with an essay, transcripts, diagnosis confirmation from a medical professional, a non-family recommendation, and parents' tax return. Scholars also receive personalized college guidance. Michael's Way partners with Ed Snider Youth Hockey and Education to help students pursue higher education after a cancer diagnosis.
