Apply for a Scholarship

Project HEAL was created to help individuals who need inpatient and/or residential care for the treatment of eating disorders and who have financial barriers regarding payment for such treatment. We are not currently accepting applications, but our next month long open application period will be announced here. You can also sign up below to join our scholarship notifications mailing list.

When the application period is opened, all application materials must be received by The Project HEAL Scholarship Fund by the associated deadline in order for you to be considered for an award. All applications that are not complete before the deadline will be considered for the subsequent quarter.

Applications are reviewed by our Clinical Advisory Board (CAB), which is a team of professionals who are skilled in the field of treating eating disorders. Once your completed application is submitted, a representative from Project HEAL will notify you within 78 hours that your application has been received.  If there are any missing documents in your application, you will be notified of what may be required for your application to be considered complete.

*Our month-long open application period will begin when funds become available. This information will be noted on the website, so please continue to check back. The recipients will be notified and awarded, and will begin treatment immediately following the notification of their award. You may reapply for multiple application periods, but previous applications will not roll over. Project HEAL does not fund travel expenses or past treatment stays. In addition, we do not offer college scholarships. Currently, Project HEAL is only able to scholarship individuals who are US and CANADIAN Residents. As more funding is available, we will extend that to individuals who are outside the US. Our hope and goal is to help those globally and cease the existence of eating disorders world-wide.
