Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Every cancer survivor deserves the chance to receive a college education. Yet the burden of medical debt, side effects of treatment, and limited access to financial and informational resources leaves many young adult cancer survivors with little hope of attending college. CCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for young adult cancer survivors by increasing opportunity for college access and success through the following initiatives: * An annual college scholarship program that recognizes survivors who demonstrate leadership, commitment to education, and betterment of their community * An online community managed by CCC that connects, supports and empowers survivors in pursuit of higher education * Scholarship management guidance and resources, including an online database that contains information on thousands of national scholarships for young adult cancer survivors
Results: CCC has awarded over $70,000 in scholarships to young adult cancer survivors who demonstrate commitment to education, leadership and a desire to give back to their community. CCC also created the first database of national scholarships available to young adult cancer survivors. The database enables young adults to further their educational goals by giving them access to all available financial resources. Additionally, CCC has built an online community for college-bound cancer survivors. The community has become a platform for networking and for peer-support.
Target demographics: Young adult cancer survivors between the ages of 17 and 25 years old who are pursuing a post high school degree at a two-year, four-year, graduate, professional or vocational institution.
