Beyond the Cure Ambassador Scholarship Program

Surviving cancer is an extraordinary achievement, but the journey doesn’t stop there. The Beyond the Cure Ambassador Scholarship Program empowers childhood cancer survivors to take the next step by pursuing their dreams in higher education. These annual scholarships celebrate the resilience and determination that have carried them through their fight and into a new chapter of growth and opportunity.

As one of the leading programs of its kind, the Beyond the Cure Ambassador Scholarship sets the standard in both the number of recipients and total dollars awarded. Each academic year, 50 scholarships are granted to help survivors achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

Since 2008, over $2.5 million has been awarded to 254 inspiring individuals, helping them turn their dreams into a reality.
