Finding Scholarships for Children of Lymphoma Patients?

I'm looking for scholarships for kids whose parents have or had lymphoma. It's been tough, but I'm focused on my future and could use some financial help for college. Any advice or programs you're aware of would be awesome!

There are many scholarships available to students who have parents with lymphoma or any other type of cancer. Here are a few to consider:

1. Cancer for College Scholarship Program: This program offers several annual awards, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, for cancer patients and cancer survivors, including immediate family members of cancer patients or survivors.

2. The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults: While this is mainly for young adults with cancer, there are a few scholarships for children of parents with cancer. The amount varies annually.

3. The MaryEllen Locher Foundation: This foundation offers scholarships to children who have had a parent with cancer. The amounts and numbers of scholarships vary based on available funding.

4. The National Collegiate Cancer Foundation: This foundation offers annual scholarships to provide financial assistance to young adults whose lives have been impacted by cancer and who have continued with their education throughout treatment.

Remember when applying to scholarships, carefully read the requirements and ensure your application is accurate and complete. Personalize your application as much as you can, to convey your unique story. Scholarships are a great way to offset some of the costs of college, and with your situation, it's wonderful that there are specific options available to you. Best of luck!
