Our Scholarships
OUR SCHOLARSHIPS4U2 fund was initially designed specifically for Youth of Incarcerated Parents. Below highlights this honor. OUR SCHOLARSHIPS4U2 yet extends itself to other youth in need to make their educational endeavors possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Youth of incarcerated parents are subjected to a number of challenging and traumatic circumstances. Learning that your parent(s) will be away as a result of imprisonment can lead to an array of mental health concerns. The impacts for many youth will likely effect their emotional, academic, and social well-beings. Having incarcerated parents as a youth become more of a problem when such impacts occur during critical years and in which families lack resources and support. More specifically, youth whom are emerging adults and looking forward to a college education may find their transitioning more troubling while watching everything they worked so hard for began to unfold by the criminal convictions of their sole support throughout their childhood experiences.
Integrative Behavioral Health and Wellness, Inc (Ibhawi) understands the impacts of having incarcerated parents and further understands that the emerging adult will require additional support during the transition to the college phase. During this phase, the State and Federal resources become more scarce, and determining independency becomes quite complex. While helping the youth understand that the impacts of the justice system is not their fault, Ibhawi strives to reduce shame and stigma and instill hope by supporting the youth with a scholarship fund entitled Scholarships4U2, which assists youth with first year college tuition and fees. The amount varies according to availability and financial hardship.
​
We encourage interested youth between 17 to 19 years old to apply by submitting a 1000 word letter of interest, explaining their hardship, and how such funds can assist them with reaching their optimal academic goals.
