Behavioral Health Workforce Education & Training Scholarships

The School of Nursing has been awarded a BHWET grant through the HRSA. This program aims to increase the supply of behavioral health professionals while improving the distribution of a quality behavioral health workforce, thereby increasing access to behavioral health services.

Four scholarships are available for Graduate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner students, with a total possible funding of $28,350 (disbursed in three equal payments during the Winter, Spring and early Fall semesters)*. Clinical sites will be at Federally Qualified Health Clinics, primarily in the Flint area, but you may be placed in sites that require up to 60-90 minutes drive. Other sites in Oakland and Macomb counties are being added.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in the University of Michigan-Flint BSN to DNP program with a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner concentration. (If you are in another concentration, you must change your concentration to the Psychiatric Mental Health NP concentration).
• Must be in good academic standing in your program and remain in good academic standing to continue in the grant.
• You must be a full-time student.

*This may impact any other financial aid or scholarships you receive.
