For second year, RCA scholarship will support future generation of addiction treatment professionals
Recovery Centers of America (RCA) announced an open application period for students seeking to apply for the Recovery Centers of America Scholarship 2019.
Launched in 2018, the scholarship aims to help support the next generation of addiction professionals. The company will award $1,000 to one current or prospective college student who has expressed a desire to work with those impacted by addiction and substance use disorder.
Applications for the Recovery Centers of America Scholarship will be accepted through December 31, 2019. All applicants are required to submit an essay that explains how they plan to use their degree to aid those in recovery and showcases their commitment to helping individuals and families overcome the disease of addiction.
Last year, the company received applications from twenty different states. A student studying for a Masters of Science in Nursing, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner track from Nashville, TN was awarded the 2018 scholarship.
“RCA is excited to offer the Recovery Centers of America College Scholarship for the second year in a row. We were thrilled with the response we received last year and it really demonstrates the tremendous interest of today’s students in pursuing careers helping those with substance use disorders,” said Recovery Centers of America Director of Public Relations Terri C. Malenfant. “This scholarship is a vital tool for financially supporting students who want to make a difference in the lives of those suffering from addiction. We are proud to advance the education of the next generation of healthcare leaders, and we look forward to expanding this scholarship in the years to come.
