Is there a scholarship available?

The Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy offers a scholarship to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) students in an effort to provide greater accessibility to our programs. We want to recognize the marginalization that these communities face when entering the professional and academic sectors and to support bringing more BIPOC voices into the field of art therapy.

• The scholarship is only honoured if you complete the APD program
• The scholarship is in the form of a credit which is applied to your last tuition payments
• Because there are limited scholarships, the amount of credit is variable, but can be up to $5000

Scholarship Application Requirements

• A successful APD application which includes a note of intention to apply for this scholarship
• A 2500-word essay written in APA format discussing how art-making provides a connection to culture.

Scholarship essays must be sent by email to [email protected]. All applications for the scholarship will be reviewed, and in circumstances where more than one applicant has shown potential, CiiAT may decide to split the scholarship accordingly.
