Educational Support & Scholarship

Resources to Family to Enhance Academic Success

Children undergoing cancer treatment and their siblings often miss school and struggle to keep up academically. Our Educational Support and Scholarship program helps families rebuild academic confidence, strengthen study skills, and prepare young people for successful transitions to further education and careers. Support may include virtual tutoring, mentoring, and/or life skills coaching to children experiencing or experienced cancer or their school-aged siblings.

​

​In addition, we offer the John Finney Memorial Scholarship Program. The John Finney Memorial Scholarship Program will aid Joshua’s Camp families who struggle with lasting financial challenges related to their cancer journey. As you know childhood cancer impacts both survivors and their siblings who struggle and sacrifice throughout and beyond the treatment journey. The financial challenges resulting from that journey shouldn’t prevent these children from pursuing their dream of a quality college education. We at Joshua’s Camp are proud to be able to offer childhood cancer survivors and siblings the opportunity to advance their education, follow their dreams and continue to inspire others. We believe that our founder, John Finney, would be proud to know that Joshua’s Camp can continue benefiting the families we have hosted, well beyond their experience at camp.
