Each year The Nantucket Healing Fund gives $10,000 in scholarship to Nantucket community members pursuing education in the field of mental health.
Scholarship recipients commit to one year of work on Nantucket Island after completion of their program to bring these needed services back to the island.
If you are aligned with our mission to increase access to mental health on island and are in a position to do so, we are currently accepting donations for our 2021 scholarships.
