At Banyan Treatment Centers, we recognize the challenges faced by individuals balancing work, school, and the pursuit of a career in healthcare, including medical, mental health, addiction treatment, clinical, and social care professions. 

Our mission has always been to deliver compassionate, comprehensive care to those in need. We recognize the critical role healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, therapists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers, play in guiding individuals through recovery and fostering overall wellness. To support the next generation of these vital professionals, we are proud to offer a $1,000 scholarship specifically tailored for working students.

* You must be enrolled in the Spring Semester 2026 to receive funds.
