Give To The Bridge Scholarship Fund

 

 

The Bridge Scholarship fund was developed to encourage and support underserved and underrepresented populations at Richmont and in the counseling profession. The scholarship is made available through the generous gifts of Richmont Alumni. The scholarship is awarded annually to one student on the Atlanta campus and one student on the Chattanooga campus. This scholarship will provide recipients $5,000 for one year, with the opportunity to be renewed for an additional year.

To be eligible to apply for the Bridge Scholarship, the applicant must demonstrate engagement in campus or community activities that promote outreach or support to underserved populations and seek to work with underserved and underrepresented populations upon graduation. Applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher and maintain an overall GPA of 3.3 while enrolled at Richmont. This scholarship is intended to assist individuals from groups that face barriers to resources or opportunities due to socioeconomic, geographic, linguistic, or other factors. To be considered for this scholarship, specific information must be submitted. Please be aware that the scholarship committee reserves the right to conduct interviews of applicants as deemed appropriate.

Please upload the following information for the Bridge Scholarship:

  • A brief essay on the importance of mental health counseling for underserved and underrepresented populations (3-5 pages)
  • At least one letter of recommendation from either a professor, mentor, or employer. (Those filling out references need to complete the reference form found under the scholarship tab on the Richmont website.)
  • Demonstrated financial need (please itemize your annual income and expenses)
  • A copy of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA), called the SAR report found at studentaid.gov

Note: If there is a discrepancy between your SAR report and your current/future financial situation, you can provide an explanation via the additional upload option on the form.
