Mental Health/Addiction Awareness Scholarship Program
To raise awareness as to the causes, consequences and treatment of mental health and addiction, The Mental Health Freedom Foundation is seeking to reward essay applicants’ scholarships- for students entering college or already enrolled in a higher education institution.
