Since 2017, PCRF has been granting survivors of pediatric cancer with PCRF Scholarship Awards. These scholarships are awarded to undergraduate and/or post-graduate students nationally as a demonstration of our commitment to improve quality of life for those affected by pediatric cancer. In 2023, we proudly awarded over 100 scholarships. Meet a handful of our recipients below:

“Since 2017, 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.
