Attention: Psych Tech Students

CAPT is now accepting applications for the 20th round of scholarships it will award to students enrolled in Psychiatric Technician education programs.

This year, CAPT has increased its scholarship awards to help students with the cost of tuition, books and other expenses. This year, eight scholarships may be awarded for $1,000 each. Two additional scholarships may be awarded to the individuals whose applications are not only accurately completed, but whose signed statements are exceptionally inspiring and letters of recommendation are highly supportive. One top scholarship may be awarded in the amount of $2,000 and a runner-up awarded in the amount of $1,500.
To receive a scholarship, an individual must be enrolled and actively participatingin a Psych Tech education program accredited or approved by the BVNPT. The recipient must also be a CAPT member as of January 27, 2024, a relative of a CAPT member or someone residing in a CAPT member’s immediate household.
As noted in the previous paragraph, there are three ways you may qualify for a scholarship. Please be sure to submit your application with all documents by the July deadline.
Best of Luck to you!
Thescholarshipsarefundedfrom a grant by the American Association of Psychiatric Technicians, which provides services to mental health workers in the 46 states that do not license PsychTechs.
In 2014, CAPT’s Board of Di- rectors voted to rename its annual scholarship program the Anthony Myers Memorial Scholarship Program in honor of CAPT’s previous state president who passed away from cancer.
The Board agreed that it was only fitting to rename the program after Tony, who was not only instrumental in establishing the scholarship program, but dedicated to the education of Psych Techs and advancement of the profession.
Tony was first elected as state president in 2000. He continued to be re-elected and held office through 2013
