Early Childhood Developmental Trauma Legacy Scholarship
Many children suffer abuse and neglect and are traumatized in early childhood development.
Children often don’t have an advocate, especially when they’re being abused by their parents or guardians. As a result, many children slip through the cracks, often suffering long-term consequences due to the trauma they face in their tender years.
This scholarship seeks to increase awareness of the severity of trauma on young children by supporting students who will work to combat these issues in their careers.
Any undergraduate student who is pursuing a career in social work, psychology, or child development may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about the consequences of early childhood development trauma, how you plan to fight this issue through your career field, and any personal experience you have related to this issue.
