SBC Educational Scholarship Program

Education Is Empowerment. Community Is Healing.

Each year, SurvivingBreastCancer.org awards Educational Scholarships to individuals impacted by breast cancer — providing access to national conferences where learning, connection, and transformation happen.

While metastatic breast cancer is lifelong, this program provides short-term relief during high-intensity treatment periods — ensuring responsible stewardship while delivering meaningful, timely support.​

We See Firsthand: 

  • Increased confidence in treatment decision-making

  • Improved understanding of metastatic and early-stage care

  • Stronger peer-to-peer support networks

  • Decreased isolation among participants

  • Participants returning home feeling informed, connected, and empowered

  • Conference registration

  • Shared accommodations

  • A Visa gift card to assist with travel, meals, and incidentals

  • Pre-conference connection with other SBC scholars

  • Post-conference integration support through SBC programming
