At WisePractice, we believe that access to high-quality, relational, and ethically grounded supervision training should never be determined by financial barriers. We also recognize the systemic inequities that have historically limited access to professional development for many clinicians.

Our Equity Scholarship Program is designed to make our trainings more accessible for Supervisors-in-Training and licensed supervisors from historically marginalized communities and/or those experiencing financial hardship.

How It Works

The Equity Scholarship operates much like a sliding scale, offering different levels of tuition support based on each applicant’s resources and circumstances. We use the image of watering pails to symbolize the different levels of support available — because every tree (and every supervisor) needs the right amount of nurturing to grow strong.

Our Priorities

We prioritize scholarships for applicants who:

• Identify as part of historically marginalized communities (including but not limited to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, and those in rural/underserved areas)

• Are first-generation college graduates or mental health professionals

• Work primarily in nonprofit, low-resource, or high-need settings

• Are experiencing financial hardship and identify most with the “right pail” in our Three Watering Pail analogy (see illustration on this page).

How to Apply

1. Review our Equity Scholarship priorities above.

2. Complete the Equity Scholarship Application by the posted deadline on this page.

3. Applicants will be notified of awards approximately six weeks before the start of the live group sessions.
