About Palm Health Foundation’s Mental and Behavioral Health Scholarship Funds 


Since 2001, Palm Health Foundation has connected donors with nonprofits and student scholars, granting over $93 million in Palm Beach County. Palm Health Foundation’s mental and behavioral health scholarships provide financial support for those seeking bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work, psychology, clinical mental health counseling, school counseling and other focus areas. Minimum scholarship awards are $2,500, and the average award is $5,000. 


Through a special scholarship, two Palm Beach County men hope to open a conversation about a taboo subject among their gender: mental health. Having experienced deep, personal trauma—one a brother's suicide, the other an eating disorder—both are now forever linked in their mission to heal and save others.

Any gift to a Palm Health Foundation scholarship fund supports the dreams of students whose lived experiences have led them to dedicate their lives to providing patient-centered care, with dignity for those they serve.
