The Hope for Healing Scholarship is an evergreen offering that awards two recipients annually. The purpose of the scholarship, awarded to one undergraduate and one graduate student each year, is to encourage more of America's best and brightest to pursue a vocation in the field of addiction and mental health. Applicants may be any undergraduate and graduate (Masters or Doctorate) students currently enrolled in a degree program in mental or behavioral health, nursing, or addiction medicine. Applications from veterans, minorities, and people with disabilities will be accepted. Undergraduate applicants must be currently enrolled in a four-year degree program or show proof of acceptance to an institution that offers four-year degrees. They must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the last completed academic year at a four-year institution, a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the most recent quarter or semester, or a 3.5 high school GPA if no college has been completed. Graduate scholarship applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate degree program or show proof of acceptance to an institution that offers Masters and Doctorate degrees. They must have graduated from an accredited four-year institution with a GPA of 3.0. Applications are now being accepted on a continuous, rolling basis.
