The Sunshine Kids Scholarship Program

 


Headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, Telligent Masonry completes contract construction projects throughout the greater Washington, DC area. Dedicated to giving back through multifaceted philanthropic outreach, Telligent Masonry supports Sunshine Kids, among other charitable nonprofits.


From funding dream trips to providing inspiring hospital visits, Sunshine Kids spearheads various initiatives to benefit children with cancer. One of its lesser-known initiatives is the Sunshine Kids Scholarship Program.


This program awards $5,000 to qualifying students pursuing a 4-year college degree and $2,500 to qualifying students pursuing a 2-year college degree. These awards are renewable for as many as four years after their initial distribution.


To qualify for a Sunshine Kids Scholarship, a candidate must be a pediatric oncology patient or survivor who received a diagnosis before turning 19. Candidates must also have a history as a Sunshine Kid that goes back at least three months. They cannot currently be older than 22 and must commit to enrolling for a minimum of nine credit hours per semester at a college or university.


The Sunshine Kids Scholarship Program is open to graduating high school seniors and current college students. Regardless of their education level, candidates must have at least a 2.0 GPA at their most recent enrollment institution.
