Why Are We Offering The Scholarship To Students Affected By Cancer?
We are aware of how profoundly a cancer diagnosis affects the family dynamics and the emotional well being of each family member. Everything changes in a family when someone gets a cancer diagnosis. Parents have to quit jobs and focus on treatment and the family’s income decreases drastically. Our goal is to support a student with a family connection to cancer continue his/her education. For this reason, we have decided to offer a little help to young people who witnessed a loved one’s devastating struggle with cancer in order to ease at least their financial situation.

Scholarship Intent: Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. will be awarding three scholarships to students whose lives have been affected by a family member’s battle with cancer.
