The Karen L Baker Scholarship is in honor of Karen L. Baker. She was a full-time working mother of two who bravely fought liposarcoma, a rare form of soft-tissue cancer. With the support of her friends and her family, Karen showed exceptional courage through eight years of treatments to fight her cancer. On November 3, 2016, Karen’s fight ended. Her legacy will continue through you.

In honor of Karen’s bravery, Rise Together Cancer Found offers you the opportunity to apply for a special college scholarship. At the end of the 2024-25 academic year, 4 qualifying students graduating from a Chester County high school will be awarded college scholarships from the Rise Together Cancer Foundation.

The Karen L Baker Scholarship is currently closed to applications. Applications for the 2025-26 school year will open around January of 2026
