Since 2005, the National Collegiate Cancer Foundation has provided financial assistance to over 250 young adults affected by cancer. The Survivor Scholarship honors the legacy of NCCF founder Dan Waeger. Through his example, Dan challenged others to be active in their own lives — to be proactive, to be a participant, to be accountable, and to be willing to make a meaningful difference in the world. We are grateful to uphold his legacy through our scholarship programs.
