PBTF Scholarship Program

Scholarships offer more than financial assistance. They also acknowledge the unique accomplishments of brain tumor survivors. The PBTF is proud to offer a scholarship program to students who have survived a central nervous system tumor. Awards may be used to cover tuition, fees and books at any post-secondary institution, including technical schools, vocational schools, junior colleges and four-year colleges or universities. (At this time, our scholarship awards are not available to graduate students.)

Diagnosed at or before age 19 with a primary malignant or non-malignant central nervous system brain and/or spinal cord tumor
