Description

Active Minds’ Emerging Scholars Fellowship, generously supported by the Scattergood Foundation and Macy’s, is designed to mobilize small groups of two or three (2-3) college/university students to develop and disseminate their own action research findings to address mental health disparities in Black, Indigenous, and/or person of color (BIPOC) communities. The fellowship provides funding, mentorship, and a supportive scholar network to student researchers to complete independent mental health projects and take action on any recommended findings.

To support their work, scholars are awarded a $1,000 stipend and ability to receive an additional $250 in reimbursement for project material expenses. Scholars will be expected to attend weekly meetings to progress their project, the meeting schedule will be released upon acceptance.
