Autumn Davis Memorial Scholarship
Investing in the next generation of mental health professionals is one of the most impactful ways to improve the world.
Mental illness touches the lives of nearly everyone, whether through personal struggles or through the pain of a loved one. As stigma continues to discourage people from speaking about their concerns and seeking help, it’s crucial to spread awareness of the importance of mental health.
This scholarship seeks to support students who will be pursuing the mental health field in some capacity with their careers.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who has at least a 3.0 GPA and is pursuing nursing, social work, psychology, or counseling may apply for this scholarship.

How has your experience with mental health influenced your beliefs, relationships, and career aspirations? Please tell us a bit about yourself and how you plan to make a positive impact on the world through your mental health career.
