The National Children’s Cancer Society (N.C.C.S.) was established in 1987 to improve the quality of life for children with cancer by promoting children’s health through financial and in-kind assistance, advocacy, support services and education.
In order to meet the specific needs of childhood cancer survivors, the N.C.C.S. developed the Beyond the Cure (BTC) Program. The mission of BTC is to help childhood cancer survivors integrate the cancer experience into their lives, ensure they have access to quality survivorship information, encourage advocacy and celebrate survivorship. By providing assistance, support services and education, the N.C.C.S. has been successful in its efforts to improve the quality of life for children with cancer.
The BTC Scholarship Program advances the mission of the N.C.C.S. by improving the capacity of childhood cancer survivors to attend college. It's made possible by the Engelhardt Family Foundation and by generous donations from countless individuals.
