The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults
The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young is committed, through their College Scholarship Program, to helping young adults continue their education after being affected by cancer.
Our Adolescent and Young Adult Navigators work with those impacted by cancer from diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship or end of life. The team serves patients nationwide and in hospitals in the Baltimore/Washington region. Navigators work on addressing many of the unique barriers adolescent and young adult patients face including social isolation, fertility preservation, financial need, and limited support.
We recognized the void for young people traveling to Baltimore to seek treatment from some of the country’s best hospitals. Ulman House opened in the winter of 2019 to provide free lodging for young adult cancer patients and their caregivers in East Baltimore.
Exercise has been proven to be a positive addition to cancer treatment. Our Cancer to 5K program is a free 12-week run/walk training program for cancer survivors of any age or treatment status. The program is available onsite in 15 cities.
Cancer shouldn’t prevent you from getting an education. We provide more than 30 academic scholarships each year to young adults impacted by cancer.
