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.
