Scholarship
The Valerie Fund Scholarship Program 2022-23
This year, The Valerie Fund Scholarship Program awarded 124 scholarships to patients at seven Valerie Fund Centers for the 2022-23 academic year. The total scholarship funding for this academic year was more than $490,000. These scholarships have been made possible through the generosity of individuals and families to whom The Valerie Fund and our scholarship recipients are extremely grateful. The essays students submit as part of the application reveal a special combination of determination, wisdom and humility. A number of scholarship recipients tell us they are planning careers influenced by their experiences as patients, crediting their illnesses for career choices that include pediatric oncology, social work, nursing and art therapy.
