NBCC: 2013 Foundation Scholarships

The NBCC Foundation is pleased to announce the 2013 Foundation scholarships. The scholarship program is integral to the NBCC Foundation's mission to leverage the power of counseling by strategically focusing resources for positive change. The goal of the scholarship program is to increase the number of counselors in priority underserved communities, currently considered to be military and rural populations.
Scholarships are available to students currently enrolled in a CACREP-accredited, master's-level counseling program. The NBCCF military scholarships provide financial support to service members and veterans who commit to serving military, veterans and families for a minimum of two years upon graduation. The rural scholarships support students living in rural areas who commit to serving rural populations upon graduation.
Five military and five rural scholarships are available in the amount of $5,000 each. The military scholarship requires recent military experience, and residence in a rural area is required for the rural scholarship. The deadline for applications is November 1, 2012.

NBCCF will award the scholarships in February 2013.
