Scholarship Collage Winners 2025
Scholarship Winners visiting The Haven
Each spring, in memory of its co-founder, Jeanette Cartwright, H.O.P.E. awards academic scholarships to deserving high school seniors. The award is based on financial need and a history of cancer in the student’s immediate family. For those interested in applying, please download 2026 Jeanette Cartwright Scholarship.
The successful candidate must have someone within his or her immediate household with cancer, must demonstrate a financial need, and be accepted into a college or trade school. Scholarship winners must then prove completion of one year of the college or trade school of their choice.
Since 1995, H.O.P.E. has awarded over $120,000 worth of scholarships to high school seniors pursing a post- secondary education. Candidates not only demonstrate exemplary academic and extracurricular talent, but continue to do so through the lingering effects of their families’ cancer journey.

Eligibility?
Consideration for this scholarship shall be given to any high school senior that has an immediate family member diagnosed with cancer or one who has recently lost a family member to cancer.
Each year, our scholarship committee faces the rewarding challenge of choosing from a remarkable pool of senior applicants. Their qualifications are outstanding—but four students always rise to the top with that special something extra.
H.O.P.E. Scholarship winners throughout the years share more than academic excellence. Each has faced cancer within their immediate family, often during some of the most formative years of their lives. One recipient even walked this journey personally as a cancer patient. These experiences, though difficult, have shaped extraordinary resilience, compassion, and determination.
Despite, or perhaps because of, these challenges, our scholars continue to shine. They lead in classrooms, student government, athletics, and countless community efforts, proving that adversity can inspire greatness.
As we say every year, the future of our country is in good hands with young people like our H.O.P.E. Scholarship winners.
