One of the many scholarships I will be applying to is called the Coalition Againts Breast Cancer Scholarship. This scholarship is provided for students who have either lost a relative to breast cancer or have a relative who have beat the cancer or are getting treated for the cancer. It will be given to students who portray that the drastic disease has made a positive impact on their life and has caused them to grow positively. Multiple $1000 scholarships will be awarded to students demonstrating positive growth from a difficult life experience. The number of awards given out will be determined based on the amount of funds available at the time of selection.

REQUIREMENTS: 

The students selected for this scholarship will be chosen based on a personal essay, a letter of recommendation, financial need, and academic achievement. The application may be submitted either online or through the mail, and is available here. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 and the letter of recommendation must be written by someone other then a parent or relative. The essay must address the impact that having a family member with breast cancer has had on the applicant’s life, as well as the challenges and opportunities that have been presented to the applicant by this experience.
