Subject: NBCC Foundation Scholarships
The NBCC Foundation is now accepting applications for two new counseling scholarships.
The scholarships are available to students with recent military experience and those living in rural areas.
The Military Scholarship Program is designed to encourage military servicemembers and veterans to embark on a career in counseling. The program provides financial support to students who enroll in a CACREP-accredited 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 areas who enroll in a CACREP-accredited counseling program and commit to serving in these communities after graduation.
Scholarships for both programs will be in the amount of $3,000 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. Applications received by November 1, 2009 will receive priority review in November 2009. More reviews will occur in 2010.
