----------------------------------------------------------- From: Willard1H Message 5 in Discussion Hi, Sherry, Those 22,300 hits on Google should give you more than enough leads. And that NBTF link is good. You can either download their .PDF or view online that Section 7 info. Don't forget Minnie's comprehensive *Association Links section, over on the blue column to the left of the page. She has bushels of them listed, including good possibilities like Pituitary Network Assn. http://www.pituitary.org, the American Brain Tumor Assn., similar groups in Canada, Australia, U.K., etc. There are even groups for specific pit tumors, like acro, Cushings, hypopit, GH, and many more. Search the Musella Foundation For Brain Tumor Research & Information, Inc, and you're likely to find dozens of funds set up to educate those affected by brain tumors. http://www.virtualtrials.com/index.cfm The Tug McDraw Center at Duke has begun awarding scholarships, including funds for higher medical educaion, from his son singer Tim McGraw's foundation. (Sorry, this browser doesn't let me create HTML hot links.) http://www.tugmcgraw.com/scholarships/application.asp Pete Sampras and U.S. Open tennis are affiliated with the Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation, which has scholarships "to assist brain tumor patients and their families in managing the physical, emotional and social challenges presented by the illness.". http://gullikson.rfmethod.com/collegescholarship.html There are some terrific sources of financial aid available. You might also want to have a paid school employee to do all the legwork and file the forms. I like the phrase you use, "I am a brain tumor survivor." I once said that before I'd even taken any medication or had treatment. A friend asked if I was being premature, declaring myself a survivor so soon. "No. Anyone who has been diagnosed," I replied, "automatically IS a survivor. We're more than 90 percent more likely to survive that someone who hasn't been diagnosed!" Good luck in your efforts, Willard ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
