  • Scholarship Description
  • Twisted Pink, along with the family and closest friends of Jennifer Alderman, will honor her legacy and recognize Jennifer's lifelong dream of being a constant and present figure in her children’s life with the annual Jennifer Casey Alderman Legacy Scholarship Award. This award will provide one young adult annually with a $10,000 scholarship to seek a higher education. Scholarship recipients are eligible to receive $2500 annually throughout their undergraduate career. Award recipients must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher to maintain annual eligibility. Any funds in excess will support research for metastatic breast cancer in Jennifer’s memory. We will strive to find and support research on leptomeningeal disease, which is ultimately what took Jennifer’s life. The annual scholarship award will be presented each year on May 28th; the date that Jennifer entered eternal life.
