THE SIMON CANCER FOUNDATION

Every student deserves a next chapter.

When cancer changes a student’s journey, hope, ambition and opportunity still matter. We honor every story and help students move toward their future.

Over $200,000 in scholarships awarded. Applications for the 2027–2028 Harvey Simon Memorial Scholarship are due January 31, 2027. Apply for the scholarship →

We see the person, not just the diagnosis.

Behind every scholarship is a real person—with goals, relationships, gifts, and a life that reaches far beyond cancer. Through the Harvey Simon Memorial Scholarship, we help students who have experienced cancer pursue their college and graduate education.

Scholarships

One-time scholarship awards for eligible students pursuing a four-year college or graduate education. We consider your story, your aspirations and the ways you make a difference—not a GPA minimum or financial need.

Our story

Created in memory of Harvey Simon, the foundation is rooted in a belief in possibility, opportunity, and support beyond a cancer diagnosis.

Our mission begins with people, not diagnoses. Every student brings a future worth investing in.
