• Applicants must be an active member of the American Counseling Association currently working as a counselor or counselor educator, or enrolled as a graduate student in a counseling program.
• If a team of applicants submits an application packet, at least one applicant on the team must be an active ACA member when the application is submitted.
• Applicants are required to answer all of the questions included in the online form and to submit a preliminary budget detailing the use of the requested funds.
