US Therapist Recruitment (USTR) Fellowship Application

Advancing the next generation of diverse therapists in the US

Fathers’ UpLift’ United States Therapist Recruitment (USTR) Fellowship works to increase the number of BIPOC therapists in the mental health, behavioral health, and addictions field. Fathers’ UpLift will select 14 USTR Fellows from a group of students attending Graduate Schools at Accredited Colleges & Universities in the United States of America. Twelve fellows from the state of Massachusetts will be selected. Two USTR Fellowships will be awarded to a student outside of Massachusetts. All second-year Masters’ level students required to complete a field practicum are strongly encouraged to apply.

Each Fellow Will Receive:

  • A Stipend: Fathers’ UpLift will provide $15,000 to each USTR Fellow.
  • Funded Licensure Test Prep: Free Enrollment in a notable Licensure Preparation Course (Post Graduation).
  • Therapist Development & Mentorship: Each USTR Fellow will have access to a group of trained therapists to cultivate their learning and growth in the mental health, behavioral health, and addiction fields.
  • Access to Guest Lectures: A series of guest lecturers will join the USTR fellows to discuss Theoretical Frameworks created by scholars from diverse communities. Time will also be spent on culturally appropriate interventions and skill building topics.
  • Employment Opportunities: Fathers’ UpLift will assist each Fellow to seek employment upon graduation. We will support you in finding suitable employment upon completing your USTR Fellowship.
The Field Needs You. Allow Us to Welcome You Properly, Future Therapist!
