Rural Scholarships
The NBCC Foundation Rural Scholarship Program is designed to encourage individuals residing in rural areas to pursue careers in professional counseling. The program provides financial support to students from rural and underserved areas who enroll in CACREP accredited counseling programs and commit to serving in rural communities after graduation. Applicants may determine if they live in a qualifying area by checking the HRSA website of rural areas and the HRSA list of Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas. Please note that these are separate lists and criteria, so applicants should check both sites.
