I hope you’re all doing well! I’m reaching out because I’m helping a friend who’s navigating college with some mental health challenges. They’re doing really well but are worried about the financial side of things. I remember a while ago, I was in a similar spot and found some amazing resources for scholarships and support, which made a big difference.
Does anyone know of any scholarships or financial aid options specifically for students dealing with mental health issues?
Check out the Baer Reintegration Scholarship, which offers $1,000 for students with mental illness pursuing higher education, or the Scholarships360 Mental Health Scholarships that include various options like the $10,000 “No Essay” Scholarship.
One great trick is checking out local mental health organizations; they sometimes have their own scholarships or emergency funds. Also, try looking into colleges’ specific mental health support funds. They might have hidden gems for students in need.
