The NBCC Foundation is pleased to announce the 2014 military, minority and rural scholarship recipients. These 18 Scholars were selected from 278 applicants through a very competitive process.

The military scholarship provides financial support to service members, veterans and their spouses embarking on a career in counseling who commit to serving military personnel, veterans and families after graduation. The minority scholarship is designed to help ensure that the behavioral health needs of all Americans are met, regardless of language or culture, by providing financial support to counseling students who have substantial experience with the minority community they commit to serving after graduation. The minority scholarship is the newest addition to the program, and the Foundation has been able to offer it as a direct result of continued support from donors. The rural scholarship provides financial support to counseling students from rural areas who commit to serving in these communities after graduation.
