Apply for the Liberation Scholarship!
What is the Liberation Scholarship?
The purpose of the liberation scholarship is to facilitate the training and licensing process for MFTs who are historically minoritized and underrepresented in our field, such as Black, Brown, Indigenous, Trans, Queer, and Disabled MFTs. The scholarship will enable MFTs, including students in MFTs programs, to access educational and supervisory opportunities, as well as to pursue the path to licensure. This scholarship will help us expand the representation of relational therapists in our state and better serve our communities.
MFTs will be able to apply for this scholarship to cover expenses such as books and towards tuition costs (for students), supervision costs, training fees, exam costs, licensing fees, or other expenses that are directly related to the process of becoming an MFT or of maintaining licensure.
Application deadline: May 31st
Minnesota Association for Marriage and Family Therapy strives to represent the views of its individual members and also the profession as it exists in Minnesota. From this viewpoint, the MAMFT Board has deemed it necessary and useful to create a position statement that reflects the MAMFT’s stance on equity and social justice in our community. Please read more about this here!
Our primary goals for 2024 include building momentum for the Social Justice and Accountability Panel (SJAP) through expanding the volunteer base, kicking off disbursing the Liberation Scholarship funds, and review the current strategic plan to ensure alignment with socially just practices.
The Social Justice Panel is always looking for interested people to join our committee. We welcome folks to attend a meeting or send an email and let us know what is important to you! The SJAP meets monthly on the second Friday from 10-11am via Google Meet. You can reach the Social Justice Committee Chair at socialjustice@mamft.net. We look forward to hearing from you!
