The SAMFund Grants:
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 $900,000 to recipients across the country. Click here to read recipient stories and updates.
**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 view and download our resource list here.
Eligibility (please note that there are changes from last year!)
Applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 39*, residents of the United States, and either free of cancer, one year following the completion of planned therapy, or in remission on maintenance therapy. If you have questions about whether or not you are eligible, please email grants@thesamfund.org.
*We have expanded our age range this year to 17-39. Next year, all eligible applicants must be between 21 and 39.
The SAMFund Application Process
Our two-part application process will begin on June 17th, 2013. Anyone interested in applying must first submit Part I of the application. After a review period, selected applicants will then be invited to submit Part II (all applicants will be notified either way). Applicants selected to complete Part II will be notified in November as to whether they have received a grant.
