Research and Education
We support local organizations and helps to fund scholarships for those making a difference for cancer patients in northeast Louisiana.
Research
In 2024, the Louisiana Cancer Foundation partnered with distinguished researcher Dr Paul Sylevester to establish the “Paul W. Sylvester Louisisna Cancer Foundation endowed scholarship”. This scholarship will be made eligible to three Pharm D students that have an interest in the field of oncology and/or cancer research and will be starting their third or fourth year of training in the ULM College of Pharmacy.
Education & Scholarships
The LCF provides an endowed scholarship at the University of Louisiana Monroe for a cancer survivor or someone that has experienced a financial hardship caused by cancer in their family; also the Teresa Marsala Nursing Fund for the ULM College of Nursing.
