Since 2017, PCRF has been awarding survivors of pediatric cancer with PCRF Scholarship Awards!
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Scholarship Committee will continue to award annual scholarships as a commitment to improving the quality of life for those affected by pediatric cancer. The scholarship intends to support undergraduate and/or post-graduate education for survivors of pediatric cancer. This scholarship is offered nationwide. Our 2023 Survivor Scholarship portal is now accepting applications through March 31st.

“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.
