Cancer for College (CFC) was founded in 1993 by Craig Pollard, a two-time cancer survivor. Craig fought back from Hodgkin's disease when he was just 15 years old and a sophomore at Villa Park High School in Southern California. He won his second battle at age 19, after a bone marrow transplant at the City of Hope Medical Center.
"Knowing that I would ultimately return to college after my bone marrow transplant gave me the strength to keep fighting. It gave me a reason to live," says Pollard. To help provide others with this inspiration, he created Cancer for College.
To provide hope and inspiration to those who have battled cancer, Cancer for College awards college scholarships to current and former cancer patients.
