Our mission is to empower individuals affected by cancer by expanding access to higher education, building community, and fostering personal growth rooted in lived experiences.

The Koehler Foundation provides an annual scholarship at Lemont High School for one graduating senior.

Facing cancer changes how you see the world -- and often, what you're capable of.

The scholarship is rooted in the stories and journeys of its recipients as they take on the world.

Our scholars lead through their adversity. From founding foundations to launching community initiatives, they become the advocates in the community.
