About the Fellowship

Minority Fellowship Program for Master’s Students

The Master's Minority Fellowship Program (MFP), funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), offers fellowships to direct practice-focused master’s-level students who are committed to providing mental health and/or substance use services to underserved minority communities.

The MFP MSW Fellowship aims to reduce health disparities and improve health-care outcomes of racial and ethnic minority populations by increasing the number of culturally competent behavioral health professionals with MSW degrees available to underserved populations.

Funds for the program are provided by the Center for Mental Health Services in SAMHSA.
