The scholarships are administered through the Collaboratory and made possible through donations to Barbara's Friends, Golisano Children's Hospital Cancer Fund.

Each year, three scholarships are awarded, thanks to the generosity of donors who contribute to the Barbara's Friends Scholarship, now endowed in memory of Frank Haskell, the founder of Barbara's Friends.
