MaryEllen Locher Foundation®

Welcome!
MaryEllen Locher Foundation® scholarship fund is a national fund established in 2002 by a mother diagnosed with Breast Cancer who once worried about her own child's education. MaryEllen Locher Foundation® provides scholarships for secondary education especially to children who have lost a parent to breast cancer and children of breast cancer survivors.

One in eight women will be diagnosed each year with breast cancer, and 40% of those diagnosed will die within ten years. The fastest growing population of breast cancer patients is now women under forty years of age, many with young children. These children are the walking wounded; innocent victims in this battle being fought in the heart of America's families.

This unique scholarship fund is designed to lift the financial and emotional burdens faced by this growing number of children in our country.

Our primary goal is to provide scholarships to college students in the United States through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and private grants.

Applicant's Words:
  
"I have tried to adjust to being the mom of my household. Every morning I get my 6-year-old sister and 10- year- old brother ready for school to catch the bus. I have adjusted to putting others' needs before my own. This is one of the many valuable characteristics which my mother taught me."
