adult cancer survivors (ages 30 yrs and under) by providing awards toward

art, or some other form of higher education relieving some of the additional
burden in obtaining the necessary finances to reach these goals. Candidates
must be a cancer survivor or recently diagnosed with cancer, but do not need
to be currently receiving treatment to qualify. Two scholarships are
awarded annually. One scholarship is awarded to a resident of California
while the other one goes to someone residing in the USA.
Neat idea and thread Elodie.... Here is a another site with lots of different scolarships, some overlapping with yours .. many other ones. http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/cancer.phtml . Personally I have returned to work in last 6 months, it needed to be a lesser role and lower hours but its been fantastic to get normality in our household.
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of people and organisations wanting to help and provide financial assistance... I think also the cancer society in what ever country you are in also might be a good starting point. Getting on with life.. getting educated.. working.. raising children.. etc. is such a positive activity to get you back on track with survivorship and overcoming the impacts of your treatment. Most of us are still sick, but it makes no sense just waiting around for something to happen, best to make good use of time.
