2016 Legacy Scholarship Winners Announced
The National Collegiate Cancer Foundation supports all young adults and their families affected by cancer. While we continually celebrate those living with and through the disease, the sobering reality is that not all will young adults diagnosed with cancer survive. Furthermore, many young adults are also impacted by cancer through a parent’s diagnosis or loss.
In 2014, we announced the establishment of the NCCF Legacy Scholarship to assist young adults pursuing education who have lost a parent or guardian to cancer. The Legacy Scholarship is made possible by a partnership with the Steinau family in honor of their dear friend Jenn Carter. Jenn courageously battled breast cancer for two and a half years and miraculously gave birth to her fifth child a year before she was taken from us in August of 2008. Jenn’s friend Brooke Steinau was by her side during her treatments. During one her visits with Jenn, Brooke asked her what she wanted most for her children. Jenn replied, “I want them to go to college.” Brooke realized that so many parents who have also lost their battle also wanted the same for their children, and thus, she was inspired to launch the Legacy scholarship in Jenn’s honor.

- Sierra Andino-Wilson- California Baptist University
