Scarborough student receives scholarship for families impacted by cancer
Kristen Caldwell of Scarborough has been selected as a recipient of Northwestern Mutual’s Childhood Cancer Sibling Scholarship.

Now a political science major at George Washington University, Caldwell is determined to change laws to make health care and cancer treatments more affordable for those impacted by cancer.
