National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) Minority Fellowship Program for Addiction Counselors (MFP-AC)

The Minority Fellowship Program for Addictions Counselors (MFP-AC) is offered by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) Foundation, the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) and funded by a grant from SAMHSA. The MFP-AC provides up to 40 master's degree-level counseling fellowships of $15,000 for addiction counseling students and pays the students' travel expenses to participate in program-related trainings. MFP-AC fellowships are awarded to applicants who are knowledgeable of/have experience working with underserved minority communities, children/adolescents, geriatrics, minority communities in urban and rural areas, minority persons and veterans. The goal of MFP-AC is to increase the number of substance use disorder professionals that provide services to minority populations.
