Thank you for your interest in attending the 2025 Alliance for Childhood Cancer Action Days! A limited number of scholarships have been made available thanks to the generosity of sponsors.

Recipients will be responsible for paying the nightly room rate plus tax and any incidentals (i.e., charges outside of the main bill such as parking, room service, etc).

Scholarship recipients must give at least 2 weeks prior notice if they are unable to attend, or risk exclusion from future Alliance for Childhood Cancer scholarship application opportunities (emergency situations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis).
