Beat Cancer Today provides scholarships specifically for pediatric cancer survivors and their siblings who live in Iowa. They offer standard scholarships of $2,500 and low-income scholarships of $5,000 for families whose household income falls at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. These scholarships help cover costs for any accredited post-secondary education including two-year or four-year colleges, vocational schools, advanced degree programs, or certification courses.
The organization was founded by parents of kids fighting cancer who understand the financial burden families face. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the educational institution, so recipients may not need to report the award as income if used for tuition, fees, and required books. Applications require academic transcripts, essays, letters of recommendation, and tax returns for low-income scholarships.
