The Foundation’s strategy is to award Scholarships and fellowships to graduate-level students pursuing careers as professional counselors who are affiliated with underrepresented and underserved populations and commit to serving them after graduation.
The NBCC Minority Fellowship Program (MFP), which is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, provides financial support to master’s- and doctoral-level counseling students who commit to serving historically underserved communities. These communities include underrepresented racial and ethnic populations, child/adolescent and geriatric groups, communities in inner cities and rural areas, LGBTQIA2S+ folx, those who are veterans or are from military families, or individuals seeking substance use disorder services.
