Chasing Away Childhood Cancer

Childhood Cancer Survivors and the Transition into College

There is no limit in terms of what college a survivor of childhood cancer can attend, but there are a few factors that come into play when picking the right school. Selecting a college as a survivor of pediatric cancer can mean choosing one that is within close proximity to home and doctors, has the resources for specific disabilities, or has a community of other pediatric cancer survivors. It is important to have this information on colleges in order to make a smooth transition during this hectic time. There might be extra challenges that come with college for a survivor of childhood cancer, but it is nothing that can’t be fixed with some preparation. This is why The National Children’s Cancer Society has made a pamphlet that outlines everything from picking a school to paying for it. We hope that this resource will help make a difficult decision easier, and your college experience exactly what you want it to be.
