Interested students at partnering high schools were asked to submit an application which included an essay question around why she or he is interested in pursuing a career in the behavioral health field.  KBH’s Chief Executive Officer Tom McAdam stated, “we are so pleased that the students who have applied already had a good understanding of the importance of the mental health field.”

 

The scholarships are made possible through KBH’s College Scholarship program which was developed to invest in our future mental health professionals. Funds for the program are raised through donations as well as KBH’s annual “A Night Out” comedy show and basket raffle.  This year, “A Night Out” is scheduled for Saturday, November 7th at the Calumet Club in Augusta.  It will likely include an opportunity to attend virtually.
