That's a great website that offers a variety of college scholarships and loans based on nationality and college major. Very helpful when applying to University, that website saved me a lot of money.

Answer 3

Why should surviving cancer be a criteria for receiving scholarships? Scholarships should be awarded based solely on academic achievement... not physical health. Do you think you should be awarded special consideration because you survived cancer? I know it's tough... but life IS TOUGH!!
