ORLANDO, Fla. – Technology partnerships executive Linsey Goss announces the official launch of the Linsey Goss Scholarship for Cancer Survivors, a new academic initiative designed to support undergraduate students who have overcome a cancer diagnosis. Operating on a national level, this scholarship aims to reduce financial barriers and amplify survivor voices in higher education by recognizing individuals who demonstrate exceptional resilience, perseverance, and clarity of vision.
The program welcomes applications from undergraduate students enrolled in associate’s or bachelor’s degree tracks at any accredited U.S. college, university, or community college. Eligible applicants include cancer survivors of any age at diagnosis, representing any cancer type or stage. Students actively in treatment, in remission, or post-treatment are all encouraged to apply. The initiative maintains no restrictions regarding specific academic majors, grade point averages, or demonstrated financial need, ensuring broad accessibility for applicants across the United States.
The inspiration for this initiative stems from the professional background of Linsey Goss. Prior to building a successful career in financial technology and leading strategic ecosystem growth, Linsey Goss worked as a Certified Pharmacy Technician at a major university children’s hospital. In this role, Linsey Goss compounded chemotherapy treatments and witnessed the immense grit and courage displayed by young patients. This profound experience drives the mission of the program: to give back to the survivor community and invest in the future of resilient students.
To apply for the scholarship, candidates must submit an original, unpublished essay between 500 and 800 words. The essay prompt requires applicants to reflect on how their cancer journey reshaped their understanding of personal strength, influenced their academic and career ambitions, and affected how they show up for their communities. Additionally, applicants must provide a brief proof of enrollment, such as an unofficial transcript or class schedule, alongside a one-paragraph verification of survivorship, which can be fulfilled via a physician’s note or a signed personal statement.
The application process is structured into three straightforward steps:
1. Write the Essay: 500–800 words.
Draft an original response exploring personal resilience, academic goals, and community impact.
