Scholarships

The Susan Fund provides financial and emotional support to those students facing staggering medical costs associated with cancer treatment in addition to the ever-increasing costs of higher education.

The Susan Fund has grown dramatically since its inception in 1982 in both the number of grants and the total amount bestowed. To date we have distributed about $1,000,000 in scholarship money. In 2009 a total of $63,000 was awarded to twenty-two very deserving students.

The Susan Fund depends primarily upon individual, corporate and service group contributions to accomplish its objectives. Various fund-raising activities have included dinner dances, auctions and a concert by one of Susan's classmates. Expenses for the fund are minimal and the needs of the organization are met through a joint volunteer effort. The Susan Fund has a 501(c)(3) federal tax status.
