The SAMFund proudly provides financial assistance to young adults as they move forward with their lives after cancer. With our support, survivors are empowered to achieve their educational, professional and personal goals. Since 2005, we have awarded over $600,000 to recipients across the country.

Grants and scholarships provided by The SAMFund cover a wide range of post-treatment financial needs, including (but not limited to): current and residual medical bills, car and health insurance premiums, rent, utilities, tuition and loans, family-building expenses, gym
memberships and transportation costs.

**Please note that The SAMFund is no longer awarding scholarships for undergraduate tuition. However, undergrads are welcome to apply for grants for other expenses (e.g., medical bills, school books, computers, etc). If you are looking for assistance with undergrad tuition, please contact us and we will send you a list of other resources.**
Applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 35, finished with active treatment and residents of the United States. Our two-part application process begins in June each year. Anyone interested in applying must first submit Part One of the application (which will be posted on our website in June). After a review period, selected applicants will then be invited to submit Part Two. Those applicants will be notified in November as to whether they have received a grant.
The SAMFund would like to thank everyone who applied for the 2011 grant & scholarship opportunities. At this time we are not accepting applications. Our next application cycle will begin in early June 2012.
If you are a young adult between the ages of 17 and 35, finished with active cancer treatment and a resident of the United States, and would like to be notified when The SAMFund makes the next grant and scholarship applications available, please fill out our inquiry form and we will add your information to our database.
