In 2001, Komen established the college scholarship program to help students who would find attending college to be a significant financial burden due to the loss of a parent or guardian to breast cancer or their own breast cancer diagnosis at age 25 or younger. The program has evolved into a dynamic partnership between Komen and students who serve in their communities, sharing Komen’s message of breast cancer awareness and raising funds while pursuing their baccalaureate degrees. The award is a generous scholarship of $10,000 a year for up to four years to attend a state university in pursuit of a baccalaureate degree. Scholarship recipients are selected based on scholastic achievement, community service, financial need and demonstrated leadership potential.
