Pink Bandana Scholarship

Deadline: April 1, 2019

Pink Bandana Scholarship

Pink Bandana is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which raises money and awareness about breast cancer for women under the age of 40.

Since 2008, Pink Bandana has raised money through annual fundraisers, and donated $269,000 to families battling breast cancer. As we continue to raise more funds through annual fundraisers and donations received, we have been able to offer a college scholarship opportunity for students who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, or who have a parent or legal guardian that have been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past 5 years.

The scholarship was established to recognize outstanding students and assist them in continuing their education.

This scholarship is awarded yearly, payable in $1,000 increments for a 4-year college or in $2,000 increments for a 2-year college (not to exceed a total of $4,000), and is contingent upon the verification of maintaining full-time enrollment. 

Please return all scholarship applications to the mailing or email address listed below by April 1, 2019.
