Camp I Am Me is excited to announce that four college scholarships have been awarded to 2026 Summer Camp campers through the Phoenix Scholarship Program. This third year initiative aims to provide financial assistance to college-aged students who face significant economic barriers to post-secondary education and is done so through the extreme generosity of a silent donor to the organization.
Camp I Am Me is committed to providing opportunities for burn survivors, fostering self-esteem, and empowering individuals to build confidence and excel in life. The Phoenix Scholarship Program is exclusive to Summer Camp attendees who meet the program’s criteria while also aims to alleviate the burden of educational expenses, enabling the recipients to focus on their studies and future aspirations.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be a participant in Camp I Am Me’s Summer Camp as part of the LIT (Leader-in-Training) program and be either a high school senior graduating in the given year or a current college student under the age of 25. They must also demonstrate economic barriers to post-secondary education and show commitment to personal growth and education.
Applications are completed on-site during Summer Camp, with dedicated sessions organized for scholarship application completion and the aid and guidance of LIT counselors.
As a result of the application process, four $6,250 Phoenix Scholarship awards are being provided to Camp I Am Me Campers Amaya Anderson, Mohamad Dallash, Isabel Longoria, and Blake Ryden – congratulations to all!
The Phoenix Scholarship Program at Camp I Am Me is a testament to the organization’s dedication to nurturing burn survivors and supporting their educational journey. These scholarships will make a significant difference in the lives of the recipients, providing them with the financial means to pursue their dreams and shine in their academic endeavors.
