Scholarships

The scholarships were established, with the support of Recovery Café Network and Washington Healthcare Authority, to encourage and support participation by professionals who have applied to become a Washington State certified gambling counselor and hold a current certificate or license issued by the State of Washington to provide mental health or SUD treatment services to the public.

Scholarships are also available for Prevention Specialists, Peer/Recovery Coaches, and undergraduate/graduate students or professors/counselors in accredited Washington State college and university behavioral health, addictions, and counseling programs. Scholarships are available for all ECPG-sponsored workshops and conferences.

Scholarships cover the cost of training/conference registration, a $75/night hotel stipend for up to 3 nights at the conference/training hotel, Gambling Counselor (WSCGC) certification application fee of $150 for those who are applying for the first time, and a complimentary one-year ECPG Associate for first-time Associates.

Scholarship Application Form

Treatment providers not eligible for problem gambling counselor certification may still be eligible for scholarships depending on funding available.

Deadline for scholarship applications is 10 days prior to the start of the event. Scholarships include: Registration for up to four days, Washington State Gambling Counselor Certification application fees (for those who have not yet applied), and ECPG Associate for those not currently Associates.

All scholarship recipients who accept a Professional Development Scholarship from Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling must make a commitment to attend all sessions on all days for which a scholarship is awarded. If a scholarship recipient is not able to attend all sessions on all days for which a scholarship is awarded, ECPG must receive advance notification and the scholarship may be retracted if deemed appropriate. If advance notification is not offered, the scholarship recipient may risk eligibility for any future scholarship awards.

Completed scholarship application form and supporting documentation – with a completed training registration form (upload the PDF registration form, DO NOT fill out the online version) – must be submitted by the application deadline. Applications received after the deadline will be considered only if funding is available.

Support a professional development scholarship and make an important difference for others.

Scholarships help professionals to help those in need, by eliminating a financial barrier to get necessary training.

A variety of Sponsorship opportunities are available for those who want to help donate to the scholarship fund, or sponsor trainings directly.

This is a very special opportunity for you or your company to support deserving individuals who may not otherwise be able to attend a training or conference. Your support can help a student, a community member, a Recovery Coach, an educator, a prevention specialist, or a treatment provider with their registration fees.
