Behavioral Health Scholarship

The struggle to provide adequate behavioral health services is currently one of the biggest challenges to our healthcare system, and nothing exacerbated the problem more than the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts watched as cases of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and other mental health concerns exploded. And since mental illness and substance abuse often go hand-in-hand, more and more people need behavioral healthcare services.

Recognizing the need for an infusion of new addiction and mental health professionals, Narcotics.com decided to launch a free scholarship contest for college students majoring in Behavioral Health. By providing financial assistance to help pay for books, tuition, or daily expenses, we hope to encourage more students to pursue careers in the areas of behavioral health and addiction-related studies.
