About the Initiative
Seattle University’s College of Education received a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help address the shortage of diverse mental health care providers in public schools. Seattle University will use the five-year grant to support a project called the Puget Sound Partnership (PSP) to Expand and Diversify the Mental Health Service Professional Pipeline. The grant funding will assist COE School Psychology, School Counseling and Online School Counseling students with scholarships and other financial support. The recipients will work directly with students in local school districts.
