Dr. Palmer applied for a new five-year long-term training grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA).

This grant establishes the Rehabilitation Counseling Scholarship for students pursuing a Master's degree and intending to initially seek employment working with State/Federal rehabilitation counseling clients/consumers.

Students awarded an RC Scholarship will receive on a semester basis their full tuition paid as well as receiving a monthly stiped of $400. This scholarship is only available to fulltime students who maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average.

To receive a Scholarship, students must agree to an employment-based Pay-Back agreement. This agreement states that for each semester a student accepts this scholarship, they agree to participate in post-graduate employment with State/Federal rehabilitation counseling clients/consumers for a period of one (1) year .

This funding has been awarded by RSA (as of 10/1/2015) so individuals interested in applying for this scholarship are encouraged to speak with Dr. Palmer and will find the application form at Financial Aid. This form must be completed, printed, and submitted to Dr. Palmer.
