Mission-Driven Scholarship 

Adler Graduate School’s mission focuses on preparing mental health professionals to serve all communities. As research has shown, people are more likely to seek mental health care from practitioners who resemble and have shared lived experiences with them, this scholarship aims at increasing the number of mental health counselors who are underrepresented in the profession. 

This scholarship is available to only newly enrolled master’s students. The value of this scholarship is $2000. Total scholarship is divided in the following way: 

If awarded in the fall semester, $500 will be disbursed in fall, winter, spring and summer semesters. 

If awarded in the winter semester, $667 will be disbursed in winter, spring and summer semesters. 

If awarded in the spring semester, $1000 will be disbursed in spring and summer semesters.
