Each year, the Snowdrop Foundation awards scholarships to qualified, college bound pediatric cancer patients.

To be eligible for a Snowdrop Foundation, Inc. scholarship, applicants must have been diagnosed with cancer before turning 20. This opportunity is available to childhood cancer survivors and current patients who are of college age and are either attending or planning to attend a college or university in the United States.

The scholarships are applied for annually and applicants can apply every year they are enrolled in school.

Keep in mind this site does NOT have a “Come Back Later” function. You should review the application 1st, see what required information is needed, collect all the information, then fill out the form to submit the application in one try.

Applications will only be considered for review if they are completed in full. Deadline for applications is APRIL 30, 2026

** Scholarships are awarded in July
