The Equity & Access Scholarship is a partial tuition award for SP Trauma Themes (Level 1) and SP for Developmental Injury (Level 2) training participants in financial need who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, or individuals with disabilities, and who provide mental health services to diverse populations.
Purpose
SPI acknowledges the complex and institutional barriers that have historically impeded BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQIA+, immigrants, or individuals with disabilities from joining and contributing to SPI and larger trauma-informed educational spaces. In response to this, we have created a scholarship specifically for those clinicians.
Scholarship Amount
Everyone’s needs and situations are different. Please let us know how much scholarship assistance you need and why. The possibilities are 10%, 20% and 30%. You may qualify for up to 50% in exceptional circumstances.
