Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Scholarship Program (Visit this link)
Most scholarships are based on academic or athletic achievement, but this scholarship is based on life experience. It is a scholarship that no one wants to win; but is intended to help with the cost of college for a family struggling through a cancer experience. Since 2000, we have been honored to award $21,500 to 30 very deserving students. The scholarships are awarded in May to one senior at each of the five comprehensive high schools in El Dorado County, California. (El Dorado HS, Golden Sierra HS, Oak Ridge HS, Ponderosa HS and Union Mine HS). The scholarships are $1000 each, and are redemable with proof of college enrollment. Qualifications: 1. Applicants must have an immediate family member (living in the household), diagnosed with cancer of any type. 2. Applicants will complete application and write and essay (not more than 500 words) describing the lessons they learned from the cancer experience. 3. A parent or surviving family member must verify that the diagnosis is valid. 4. Applications can be found at www.edc-scholarships.org. 5. Applications are due March 1, 2007 and can be sent to: Pink Ribbon Scholarship 4698 Pavonia Ct. Cameron Park, CA 95682
Approximate value: $ 5000
