A common source of anxiety for students is money. This $cash award is designed to lessen the financial burden of life and help support your needs as you adjust back to school. This fund is for those who are committed to being anti-racist and wish to serve the Black community. Cultural awareness is more than one cultural competency course it is ongoing learning and we hope that those who apply for this fund are committed to the hard necessary work in decolonizing the mental health field and addressing racism in health care!
