This program provides scholarships for patient advocates to attend Symposia sponsored or co-sponsored by ASCO and the ASCO Annual Meeting to further educate advocates on important advances in their areas of interest. The scholarships help cover travel, hotel, and registration expenses and are based primarily on financial need. Scholarship funds are limited and are granted on a first come, first served basis.

 ASCO-sponsored Symposia and the ASCO Annual Meeting give patient advocacy organizations an opportunity to promote their programs, services, and resources to the professional oncology community. These meetings also offer a venue where advocates can meet, interact, and exchange information. Advocates are encouraged to return to their organizations and their communities to share what they have learned and participate in various consumer advocacy opportunities, lending a crucial perspective and making a difference in the cancer community.

To inquire about patient advocate scholarships, please email patientadvocates@asco.org and include the name of the meeting you are interested in applying for a scholarship to attend.
