Announcement: Metropolitan College Offers Scholarship to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Patients and Survivors

Boston University’s Metropolitan College (MET) recently announced a scholarship for those currently in the care of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) which will offer patients and survivors an opportunity to jumpstart their educational initiatives. Starting with the Fall 2009 semester, The Boston University Metropolitan College Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Scholarship will enable patients to either begin or continue their undergraduate studies and resume their interaction with the education community while working toward future personal and professional goals. The scholarship is offered to any current or recent (within 18 months) DFCI patient toward any full-time, part-time, or non-degree MET classroom program at the undergraduate level.

Thus far, MET has raised over $25,000 in scholarship funds for the program and is working to engage the local community in an effort to fund the program for years to come.  Donations can be made through the scholarship website: bu.edu/met/scholarship/dfci/.
