Why This Template Works for Scholarship Programs

Mental health counseling programs are growing rapidly, and so is the need for qualified professionals who understand both the clinical and advocacy sides of the field. This template helps you:

• Identify mission-aligned candidates through questions about mental health advocacy and lived experience

• Create an equitable review process with consistent questions across all applicants

The conditional logic adjusts questions based on applicant responses, creating a personalized experience while gathering exactly the information your review committee needs.
