2026 Mental Health Service Scholarship
Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipient, Eden Pomp! Find out more about our previous winners here!
Mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, yet it remains a significantly underserved area of healthcare. Many students have witnessed the profound impact of mental health challenges firsthand—whether through personal journeys, dedicated advocacy, or academic pursuits. CaseyGerry, a law firm rooted in a legacy of justice and community support, is proud to announce the return of the 2026 Mental Health Service Scholarship, which honors students committed to raising awareness, advancing education, and expanding access to services.
In a world where conversations around mental wellness are more frequent but the path to support is often unclear, there is an urgent need for leaders who take actionable steps toward change. This scholarship aims to empower those who are actively working to build a more empathetic and supportive society. We are looking for individuals who use their voices and skills to ensure no one has to navigate their struggles alone.
By supporting the next generation of mental health advocates, we hope to bridge the gap between awareness and action. If you are dedicated to improving the lives of others through mental health services or research, we invite you to apply for our 2026 scholarship and join us in making a lasting impact on community wellness.
