Apply for a Scholarship
Agate provides scholarships for mental health, behavioral health and addiction treatment.
We call the monies we give scholarships because self-knowledge is education. The work of recovery requires personal investment in growth and education.

We are a financially transparent organization, meaning we think you should know how we use your donations. Our targets are to use 50-90% of all donations to make scholarships available to those in need, and keep our expenses well below 25%. Some proceeds may be used to establish The Agate Foundation Trust, in order that we may keep providing scholarships in perpetuity. If you have question, please contact us.
