Make a Difference

For 44 years, The Susan Fund had provided educational scholarships to Fairfield County CT students diagnosed with cancer. Since its inception, we have distributed more than $2.2 million and 900+ scholarships to over 300 individuals. With your help we can make a difference.

"This scholarship shows that there is a beautiful life waiting for everyone on the other side of all this. When you are stuck in the hospital, it is so easy to feel like that is your whole world and to forget about the future. This award is proof that cancer can pause your life, but it cannot steal your dreams. It shows these brave kids that their story doesn’t end in a hospital bed. There are college campuses, new friends, and big goals waiting for them."
