Thanks to a generous conference sponsorship by The Ammon Foundation, we are able to offer a one-time scholarship award to a young person in addiction recovery who wishes to further their education! We could not be any more grateful for the opportunity to support one of our young leaders!
Ammon Foundation’s mission is to empower individuals in addiction recovery through combating stigma and providing strategic support to enable personal success. We envision a world where all who have suffered from addiction are able to access and sustain long-term recovery.
Eligibility & Criteria:
Applicants must be in addiction recovery for a minimum of six months.
Eligible educational pathways include: GED/HSE, Certificate/Training Program, Vocational/Trade School, 2-year & 4-year. We are unable to provide scholarships for individuals who already have a bachelor’s degree.
