Helping children, youth, and families stay connected to learning and future goals.

Support for learning, school routines, and future goals

Cancer care can interrupt school routines, attendance, learning, and future plans. NOFCC’s education supports are intended to help children, youth, and eligible applicants stay connected to learning during treatment, recovery, or important next steps in their education.

Education support includes tutoring and bursary opportunities for eligible applicants connected to NOFCC families.

What this support includes

NOFCC’s Shine Bright Bursaries help support eligible students as they continue their education after childhood cancer has affected their life or family experience.
