Keeping the Memory of a Loved One Alive
A memorial scholarship is a wonderful way to keep the memory of a loved one, a friend, or an esteemed colleague alive, as it provides a gift (the financial aid) that is usually renewed each year to another student.
A mesothelioma memorial scholarship honors the memory of an individual who was struck down by this lethal disease. The sole confirmed cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that is extremely toxic if ingested.
Mesothelioma Memorial Scolarships for People from All Walks of Life
Every year in the U.S., some 2,000 more people are diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer — men and women of all ages, from hundreds of different professions, including:
- auto mechanics
- insulation installers
- plumbers
- electricians
- military veterans (especially Navy veterans)
- employees at asbestos mines and factories
- housewives, who are exposed to toxic asbestos fibers brought home on their husbands’ work clothing
