$500 Self-Empowerment Scholarship

Practical Recovery’s mission is to raise awareness around self-empowering addiction treatment and provide an alternative to the 12-step approach for those struggling with addiction. We want to empower future generations not only with safeguards against addiction, but with information that will help them make educated choices when it comes to the addiction issues of loved ones, friends, clients and maybe even their own.

Practical Recovery will award a scholarship, twice yearly, to two winners who meet the following criteria:

• Full time rising junior, junior, senior or graduate student
• Minimum 3.5 GPA
• Currently enrolled in any nationally accredited US school
• Students majoring in any of the social sciences, nursing, medicine and/or studies of law

Now for the fun part…
