Working Against Cancer’s Survival Scholarship Program assists young adult cancer survivors (ages 30 yrs and under) by providing awards toward academic and vocational education. These scholarships will encourage each recipient to engage in a trade, an art, or some other form of higher education relieving some of the additional burden in obtaining the necessary finances to reach these goals. Candidates must be a cancer survivor or recently diagnosed with cancer, but do not need to be currently receiving treatment to qualify.

Three awards of will be granted for the 2007-2008 academic year. The $500 Jackie Maas Memorial Scholarship and the $1000 EJE Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to exceptional young cancer survivors who are California residents. The third WAC scholarship in the amount of $500 will be awarded to an exceptional national cancer survivor.
