NBCC Foundation Announces New Military and Rural Scholarships

The NBCC Foundation is pleased to announce two new scholarships for individuals pursuing a career in professional counseling. The scholarships highlight and support the Foundation's mission of increasing access to mental health care through professional counseling services, particularly in under served populations.

The Military Scholarship Program is designed to encourage service members and veterans to embark on a career in counseling. The program provides financial support to students who enroll in a CACREP-approved counseling program during or after military service, and commit to serving military personnel after graduation.

Similarly, the Rural Scholarship Program offers financial support to students from rural and under served areas who enroll in a CACREP-approved counseling program and commit to serving in these communities after graduation.

Scholarships for both programs will be in the amount of $3000 and five of each type will be offered every year. Recent military experience is required for the military scholarship, and residence in a rural area is a requirement for the rural scholarship.

Individuals interested in obtaining more information about the scholarships or downloading an application should visit the Foundation's Web site: www.nbccf.org.
