College Scholarship Award
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure College Scholarship Award Program
offers up to seven undergraduate college scholarships of
$10,000 a year for up to four years. The scholarships are intended
to help students
who would otherwise find attending college to be a significant
financial burden, due to the loss of a parent to breast cancer.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is NO LONGER accepting applications for its 2009-2010 College Scholarship Award Program. This page will be updated in fall 2009 for the next scholarship year.
The Komen College Scholarship Award recipients are selected
based on scholastic achievement, community service and participation,
financial need, and demonstrated leadership potential. Recipients
will be expected to be ambassadors for Susan G. Komen for
the Cure and the breast cancer movement within their social
networks and on their collegiate campus. The deadline to
submit applications was March 20, 2009.
