The From Tragedy to Triumph Foundation (FTTTF) has created a new opportunity for the burn survivor community. The Caper Brown Memorial Scholarship supported by the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance provides funds for those with financial need when they are accepted into an accredited post-secondary institution.
Requirements
This scholarship opportunity is being made available to any current or former Camp “I Am Me” camper who meets the FTTTF criteria, including being a burn survivor, have suffered severe frostbite, and/or have been treated in a Burn Unit for a soft tissue injury.
Additional Requirements
- Resident of Illinois, Indiana, or Iowa
- Have an injury or illness that was treated in a Burn Unit

Awards will be based on the required essay, academic performance, community service, economic need, career/life aspirations and the impact your burn injury had on your life. A scholarship will be awarded for a one-year period, July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, to be applied toward tuition, fees, and other school related expenses.
