I just received this announcement and thought some people here might be interested. Although they list colleges below, the details state that funding is also available for High school equivalency programs and trade or vocational school programs.

Note that this is a competitive scholarship with a 2-page application and an essay to write. See the Reintegration website and the application for more details.

An independent judging panel made up of nine psychiatric care professionals
will choose the winners. Levels of study range from high school equivalency
programs to graduate degrees, with the areas of endeavor including
