The National Children's Cancer Society Awards Scholarships to 58 Childhood Cancer Survivors
S For Story/10638600
BELLEVILLE, Ill. - s4story -- As we honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September, we are proud to announce that the Beyond the Cure Ambassador Scholarship Program has awarded 58 college scholarships for the seventh year running.
This milestone underscores the NCCS's commitment to helping childhood cancer survivors pursue their educational aspirations. The Beyond the Cure Ambassador Scholarship program remains a leader in both the dollar amount awarded and the number of recipients, awarding 58 scholarships each academic year to continue the organization's commitment to providing educational support to childhood cancer survivors.
Across the country, childhood cancer survivors receiving this scholarship will have one less thing to worry about as they head off to college. The program helps ease the financial burdens of obtaining a degree and instills a sense of hope and optimism, bringing them one step closer to achieving their goals and shaping a brighter future.

The 2024-2025 scholarship recipients are from 24 states and will collectively attend 49 universities nationwide, including the prestigious Harvard University, Yale University, and Cornell University.
As part of the application process, first-time applicants are asked to submit a meaningful essay about how their childhood cancer experience affected their perspectives on life and how that perspective has impacted their future goals. Each student must also participate in community service programs and activities - including mentorship of young children currently in treatment - on behalf of the NCCS.
In addition to scholarships, the Beyond the Cure Survivorship Program focuses on life after treatment, educating survivors on the issues they may face after treatment, sponsoring survivorship conferences across the country, and fostering connections between survivors. The program also offers a Late Effects After Treatment Tool (LEATT (http://leatt.thenccs.org/)) that provides childhood cancer survivors with a personalized summary of potential late effects.

Since 2008, the Beyond the Cure Scholarship Program has awarded $2.5 million to 254 college-bound childhood cancer survivors. The NCCS is deeply grateful for the generous support of the Engelhardt Family Foundation, whose contributions have helped make these scholarships possible. Our sincerest appreciation also goes to the Jean and Jeanine Spencer Foundation for giving childhood cancer survivors the hope and help they need to thrive.
