Barnaby-Murphy Scholarship
Physical and mental health are intrinsically intertwined and significantly affect one’s quality of life and experiences.
The fields of mental and physical health are essential to the safety and well-being of the world. When health industries lack diversity, patients from underrepresented communities suffer as a result. Mental health and healthcare agencies are in need of more providers of color who have lived experiences as minority individuals.
This scholarship seeks to support the next generation of mental and physical health professionals as they pursue their academic goals.
Any BIPOC high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who is pursuing mental health or healthcare may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Students of Caribbean descent are strongly encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us about yourself, your ambitions, how your background has impacted your path, and the effect mental health has had on you.
Please tell us a bit about yourself and how you plan to make a positive impact on the world through your career. How has your background as someone of Caribbean descent impacted your educational journey thus far? How has your experience with mental health influenced your beliefs, relationships, and career aspirations?
