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 and other historically excluded communities. 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 doing the hard necessary work in decolonizing the mental health field and addressing racism within health care!
