A Voice for Mental Health and Addiction Awareness Scholarship

Katelynn Berry passed away at the age of twenty-six after a tough battle with mental illness and addiction.

This scholarship aims to honor the life of Katelynn Berry by spreading awareness about the threat posed by mental illnesses and addiction.
