Scholar­ships

Rexanna's Foundation awards college scholarships to high school seniors whose lives have been personally impacted by cancer — recognizing their strength, service, and academic achievement.

2025–2026 Update

Rexanna's Foundation is currently unable to offer scholarships for the 2025–2026 academic year. Please check back — we hope to again sponsor bright and aspiring students who have had their lives changed by cancer.
