in collaboration with 

Department of Counseling & Psychological Services

College of Education 

present the 

Rehabilitation Counseling Scholars Program 

Attention students:  A grant provided through the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) Training Program (CDFA No. 84, 129B) provides financial support to students seeking a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. 

Scholarships include:          

  • Tuition and Fees
  • Stipend for books, supplies, and transportation
  • Assistance to pay for the CRC Exam Assistance to pay for CRC Study Seminar and materials
  • Potential support for professional conference attendance                                       

How many grants are available?  9 full-time students (some part-time grants may be available) 

What’s the catch?  Students who accept these funds are expected to work 2 years for each year of scholarship support in the State/Federal Vocational Rehabilitation system upon graduation (does not need to be in Georgia)  

How is the course of study different from the rehabilitation counselor training that is not financially supported?  Not much. All of the classes are the same. However, scholarship recipients will be expected to participate in coordinated field, practicum, and internship experiences within state Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies, and will work closely with VR mentors in student courses and activities.
