Chandler Langlois Scholarship Fund

Chandler Langlois Scholarship Fund The mission of the Chandler Langlois Scholarship Fund is to establish a scholarship program in the name of Chandler Sean Langlois, a truly inspiring man.

He was tragically taken too soon at the young age of 20 due to an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer that affects less than 20 people per year (NUT Midline Carcinoma), but through this scholarship he will never be forgotten. Each year the scholarship will be awarded to a young man who exemplifies the qualities and values of Chandler. Chandler strived to set positive examples, not only on

the golf course and in the classroom, but in all aspects of life. He believed it was about making a difference in people’s lives and giving back whenever you had the chance. He graduated from Scarborough High School in 2015 and was attending the University of Maine, Orono, pursuing a double major in Accounting and Finance. Chandler had a unique ability to excel at any sport he tried. His ultimate passion from when he was just 4 years old was Golf. He played for the Scarborough High School team helping them to their first ever Maine State Championship title in 2015. He was also fond of Ultimate Frisbee, pickleball, ping pong, and basketball. If you were playing a sport with him, he was always so considerate to go out of his way to retrieve stray balls for you so that you didn't have to bend down to pick it up. His dad had a deal with Chandler that he would pay for all of Chandler's golf if Chandler would give him free golf lessons; Chandler still owes his dad those golf lessons, and he will be looking for and needing those lessons every time he plays. Above everything else, Chandler was an exceptional leader in every sense of the word, who led by example with integrity and character. He exemplified passion, dedication and perseverance, treating everyone with respect and admiration. Chandler has left us—his family and friends—and all those whose lives he touched with an incredible legacy. He set a standard for everyone around him by the way he lived his life, which is an example for us all to strive towards. The recipient of the Chandler Langlois Scholarship Fund will embody all of these characteristics. This scholarship is not just about furthering a young person's aspirations of playing golf, but also preparing them for life. He touched many lives and had many friends. Chandler always made you feel comfortable and left you feeling better about yourself. He was proud to be a brother of Delta Tau Delta at the University of Maine. He was a very positive, upbeat person with a wonderful sense of humor and personality, and he was always so kind and appreciative of everyone and everything. He would never just say "Thank You", instead he always said "Thank You So Much". There are always opportunities to be better in every aspect of life. This is the goal of the Chandler Langlois Scholarship Fund.

This is the cancer that took Chandler. Typically in 6 to 9 months but with him only 2 1/2 months after diagnosis. Very few people have survived this cancer.

🎗️ Rare Disease Day 2026 🎗️

Today we raise our voices for those living with NUT carcinoma — a cancer so rare that many physicians will never see a case in their career.🤎

NUT carcinoma is an aggressive cancer caused by a rearrangement of the NUTM1 gene. It can affect children and adults, often striking suddenly and progressing quickly. Fewer than 1,400 cases have been reported in the US annually, and because it is frequently misdiagnosed, the true number may be higher. The median survival has historically been 6–9 months, which is a heartbreaking statistic.

🤎🤎But statistics are not the whole story.🤎🤎

🤎Behind every number is a person. A family. A community.

We know how heavy those statistics can feel — but we also know that hope lives HERE. 🤎
Hope lives in researchers working to develop targeted therapies. 🧪
Hope lives in doctors learning to test for NUT carcinoma sooner. 🧬
Hope lives in clinical trials bringing new options to patients.
Hope lives in advocates who refuse to let this disease remain unknown.💪🏻💪🏻

Rare diseases affect 1 in 10 people collectively — yet each individual diagnosis can feel isolating. That’s why awareness matters. That’s why research funding matters. That’s why we keep sharing.

Today, we stand for:
✨ Earlier diagnosis
✨ Increased research
✨ Access to clinical trials
✨ Support for every patient and family navigating this diagnosis

NUT carcinoma may be rare, but our voices are strong. Together, we are pushing for better outcomes, longer survivorship, and one day — a cure.🤎

🤎Please share. Please learn. Please advocate.
