For the tenth year, regional college-bound students who received a cancer diagnosis prior to the age of 21 may be eligible for one of two $1,000 scholarships to be awarded by Owensboro Health Foundation at Owensboro Health.

As part of the capital campaign for the Mitchell Memorial Cancer Center, the Touched by Cancer College Scholarship Fund was established by memorial contributions from friends and loved ones of the late Dr. Leslie M. Riherd, Jr., who practiced as an orthopedist at Owensboro Health for many years.

Scholarships will be awarded for the 2015-2016 academic calendar year. Applicants must be 25 years old or younger, accepted to an accredited institution of higher learning for study in the coming year and have received a cancer diagnosis before the age of 21. Residents of Breckinridge, Daviess, Butler, Grayson, Hancock, Henderson, Hopkins, McLean, Muhlenberg, Webster, Ohio, and Union counties in Kentucky are eligible as well as those from Perry and Spencer counties in Indiana. The deadline is March 20, 2015.

For an application and more details about applying, download the form at www.owensborohealth.org/touchedbycancer, or call the Owensboro Health Foundation at 270-688-2260.
