“Over the past 5 years, I have been reading the personal stories of these young applicants. I have been humbled and touched deeply by their strength, courage, perseverance, resilience, compassion, and faith. Little did I know that childhood cancer can have lasting effects on children’s memory and attention, creating academic challenges to higher learning.” -Robert J. Zimmer (Pictured with his daughter, Kellie)
The Robert J. Zimmer Ph.D. College Opportunity Fund recognizes and affirms their victory over cancer.
