Behavioral Health Scholarship Fund

Because Access to Support Shouldn't Depend on Financial Circumstances.

​

Seeking behavioral health support can be a meaningful step toward stability, healing, and personal well-being. Yet for many individuals, the financial cost of care creates an additional barrier at a time when support may be needed most.

​

The Behavioral Health Scholarship Fund is a developing initiative of The Good You Give Foundation intended to help reduce financial barriers to eligible behavioral health services for military service members and first responders.

​

We believe that the people who serve and protect our communities deserve meaningful opportunities to access care and support when they need it.​

​

​

Our Purpose

​

The purpose of the Behavioral Health Scholarship Fund is to provide financial assistance toward qualifying behavioral health services while helping individuals connect with appropriate professional care.

​

Rather than creating a separate clinical treatment program, the Foundation intends to work with qualified, independent behavioral health providers and help eligible recipients manage approved costs associated with their care.

​

Our goal is simple: to make financial circumstances less of an obstacle to seeking support.

​​

​​

Who We Hope to Serve

​

The scholarship fund is being developed to support eligible individuals within military and first-responder communities, including:

• Military service members

• Veterans

• Law enforcement personnel

• Firefighters

• Emergency medical services personnel

 

Final eligibility criteria, available funding, provider requirements, and application procedures will be established before the program begins accepting applications.

How Scholarship Assistance Is Intended to Work

​

The proposed scholarship model includes financial assistance for an initial behavioral health assessment and, where approved, ongoing outpatient sessions for a defined award period. Depending on individual circumstances, eligibility, available funding, and the Foundation's final scholarship policies, assistance may help cover qualifying out-of-pocket expenses or other approved costs of care.

​​

The program is being designed around a structured application and review process, award limits, provider coordination, and appropriate financial oversight. Scholarship assistance will be subject to available funding and formal approval. The Foundation will not provide clinical diagnoses, determine treatment plans, or replace the professional judgment of licensed providers.

​

Our Commitment to Responsible Support

​

Protecting the dignity, privacy, and well-being of applicants and recipients will be an important part of this initiative. As the fund develops, we are establishing eligibility guidelines, review procedures, financial controls, provider requirements, confidentiality safeguards, and appropriate methods for administering assistance.

​​

We recognize that seeking behavioral health care is personal. Individuals should be able to explore support without unnecessary exposure of their private circumstances.

​

​​

​

Current Program Status

​

The Behavioral Health Scholarship Fund is currently in development and is not accepting applications or awarding scholarships at this time. Before launching, the Foundation intends to finalize its program policies, establish qualified provider relationships, secure appropriate funding, and implement the administrative safeguards necessary for responsible operation.

​

Application information and launch updates will be shared as the program progresses.
