LouCouPsych Scholarship
Tax deductible
It is with great pleasure that we announce the official opening of our scholarship. I have had the dream of being able to give back to the community that has supported me and my team since we opened our doors in April 2017.
I have always felt that education is one of the most important gifts that one can receive, and one of the greatest tools that we have to better ourselves, our families, and our communities; I thank my parents that of all the things they gave me, this was the most important and valuable. In a time where the price of pursuing that goal is becoming more of a barrier, I wanted to be able to help bring that down a bit and help our future leaders; hence, the LouCouPsych Scholarship. We will come up with a fun and new name in the future ;)
For entry, we are opening this up to students from the Virginia/DC/Maryland area going off to college or currently in college. We are requesting an essay be written with the focus on the importance of mental health awareness in today's society. The essays will be reviewed by the team members at LouCouPsych, and a winner will be chosen by the team. The funds raised will be given to the winner for use towards their education. LouCouPsych will match donations (up to $5000). Entries are due by August 30, and winner will be chosen shortly after.
I know, a little bit of a time crunch, but we are hoping to make this an annual scholarship. The process to get this up and running was a learning process and much more complicated than anticipated, but so worth it. We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax-deductible and considered charity.
Thank you so much for your contributions to this dream of mine, and for our youth and future. This truly means a lot :)
