Susan Fund Scholarship Award
Applications are available now.
The Susan Fund, A Fairfield County based scholarship program for cancer survivors who wish to pursue higher educations has begun the 2012 application process.
This fund is for students who: 1) are Fairfield County residents
2) have been diagnosed with cancer at some time in their lives,
3) are planning to attend an accredited college or training program.
The awards are based on academic achievements, financial needs and community involvement.
The Susan Fund has been awarding scholarships to local students for over thirty-one years. The fund was established in memory of Susan Davis Lloyd, a teenager from Westport whose dream was to attend college despite her cancer diagnosis and treatments.
The Susan Fund provides financial and emotional support to those students facing the staggering medical costs associated with cancer treatment as well as the ever-increasing cost of higher education. Since it’s inception, The Susan Fund has distributed over $1,200,000 in scholarship money. Recipients have come from almost every Fairfield County community.
The application must be received by
April 1, 2012.
