The ERC Cancer Scholarship Fund is available to provide financial assistance to college students in their pursuit of a higher education who have previously or are currently diagnosed with cancer. High school seniors or current college students are eligible to apply. Qualified applicants must be students who will be, or who already have been, accepted to an accredited two or four year higher education institution. Applicants must also be a United States Citizen, and they must currently maintain residency in California or be accepted into a two or four year higher education institution located in California. There is no deadline for submission, as scholarships are distributed on an ongoing basis.
