CONQUERING
CANCER SCHOLARSHIP

NOW ACCEPTING
APPLICATIONS FOR FALL 2025!

There are few things crueler in life than a cancer diagnosis. The trauma of a diagnosis can be felt not only by the person suffering from the disease, but by loved ones as well. Despite that, the human spirit can prove to be enduring in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

At The Hoffman Firm, we have great admiration for cancer survivors and those closely touched by cancer, and as such, we are opening the Conquering Cancer Scholarship to students. The winner of the scholarship will receive $1,000 to be put towards his or her post-secondary education.

For any questions, please email scholarship@thehoffmanfirm.net.
