Future of Mental Health Scholarship Fund

This fund will be used to create scholarships that seek to support students from underrepresented backgrounds who are studying to become therapists. The mental health landscape has shifted, evolved, and grown over time, with teletherapy emerging as a popular alternative to traditional in-person visits. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, requiring clients to be vulnerable, honest, and open in order to receive effective treatment. Those from underserved communities may struggle to find therapists they feel comfortable around due to a lack of representation in the field. Investing in a diverse rising class of mental health professionals is critical for the continued success of the industry. Any underrepresented minority (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc.) undergraduate or graduate student with at least a 3.3 GPA will be able apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re studying to become a therapist (clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist, mental health counselor, professional counselor, or psychologist). Applicants must also have financial need.
