To Qualify: The applicant must be in short term recovery from an addiction or have some other disabling condition.
Louisiana Rehabilitation Services (LRS) of the Louisiana Workforce Commissions has more resources than our OBH scholarship. This route can pay for the LASACT conference and much more. It sometimes takes a few weeks to get an appointment with an LRS Counselor. If you decide to pursue that possibility, we recommend that you contact the office in your area as soon as possible. Your counselor may request an acceptance letter from the LACT Program. They may also request a breakdown of LACT Tuition cost.
To Apply: Download the two-page document which you should print and to take to your LRS counselor if you decide to pursue this aid. Visit the LRS website to make an account and get a counselor.
To Qualify: The applicant must be registered as a Counselor in Training (CIT) with ADRA or actively working towards becoming a CIT.
Promising students are awarded up to $1000.00 which can be used for LASACT continuing education at the annual conference, and to pay for other necessary items on the certification checklist. Betty Breen does not pay for the LACT Application Fee. Betty Breen has limited funds available, and is available on a first come first served basis. Pursing Betty Breen in the past was a popular option, however more scholarship opportunities have arisen.
To Apply: Download the application form and return to a Betty Breen Representative as listed on the form.
