Scholarship Applications for the
2023-2024 School Year Are Open

To be eligible for an BHC Scholarship, applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

1. Acceptance and enrollment into one of the following BHC courses: Foundations, Therapeutics, Village Herbalist or Clinical Internship. At this time, we are not awarding scholarships for the apprenticeship program. Scholarship applicants, like all other students, pay a deposit upon enrollment. However, the deposit will be refunded upon request to scholarship applicants who do not receive awards, or if an award they receive is insufficient for them to attend BHC.

2. Financial need, defined as household income up to 200% of Federal Poverty Level*(see below). Applicants must submit documentation of need: their previous-year tax return, or other proof of income approved by the BHC Director.

3. Commitment to herbal education, community and public service

4. Completion of the BHC Scholarship Application, including documentation of financial need, personal statement, and letters of recommendation. Please see the BHC Scholarship application form for detailed instructions.

5. Scholarship recipients are expected to perform a least 4hrs/month of volunteer community service. Such service can take place in the BHC community clinic or garden, the Charlotte Maxwell clinics, or other venues approved by the BHC director. Returning awardees who wish to apply for continuing scholarships must A) successfully complete their previous year in the program, and B) provide documentation of at least 4hrs/month of volunteer community/public service during that year.
