JttC Scholarships
"R. Craig Pitman Scholarship Fund"
The Craig Pitman Scholarship Fund is being offered nationwide to a student who has been directly affected by breast cancer, with preference given to those with an affected parent or guardian. This scholarship has been created to honor Journey to the Cure’s Special Projects Ambassador who helped found the organization. Upon his passing in June of 2006, many people, whose lives he touched, donated money to Journey to the Cure to be used to honor his creative and giving spirit.
One tuition scholarship will be awarded to the
winner chosen each year in the amount of $500.
