About This Scholarship

A candidate for the Gabriela Blanco Scholarship for Siblings of Childhood Cancer Survivors must be the sibling of either a patient who has already been diagnosed with a childhood cancer and is undergoing treatment or of a patient who has already been diagnosed with a childhood cancer and has survived it. Sibling must reside in the same home as the child with cancer, especially while they are receiving treatment. Additionally eligible are siblings of children with cancer who did not make it through the diagnosis or treatment.Siblings of children with cancer are equally as vital as the patient, but because people usually concentrate on the sufferer, they are sometimes forgotten. This was never an option for the founder and president of Sofia’s Hope because her daughter Gabriela is just as significant as her sister Sofia.

Eligibility Criteria For Gabriela-blanco-scholarship-for-siblings-childhood-cancer-survivors

Here are some common eligibility criteria that may apply:

  • Cancer Impact: The scholarship may be intended for students who have been directly affected by cancer. This could include individuals who have had cancer themselves or who have a family member (such as a parent, sibling, or guardian) who has been diagnosed with cancer.
  • Academic Standing: Scholarships may have requirements related to academic achievement, such as a minimum GPA or specific academic milestones. These criteria help ensure that recipients are dedicated to their education and are committed to academic success.
  • Financial Need: Some cancer family scholarships are specifically designed to support students facing financial challenges as a result of the cancer diagnosis within their family. Applicants may be required to provide financial information, such as tax documents or a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • Field of Study: Scholarships may focus on specific fields of study related to cancer research, treatment, or support. This could include areas such as oncology, nursing, public health, or other disciplines directly or indirectly related to cancer care.
  • Community Involvement: Scholarships may consider an applicant’s involvement in cancer-related community activities, volunteer work, or advocacy efforts. This involvement can showcase the applicant’s commitment to raising awareness or supporting others affected by cancer.
