AEDP™ Institute Scholarships
The AEDP™ Institute is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive learning environment that appreciates and celebrates the distinctive contributions of clinicians from diverse backgrounds. Our commitment extends to making AEDP trainings accessible to mental health professionals worldwide. We aspire to uphold and promote values of diversity, belonging, equity, and inclusion in all their manifestations.
In line with this mission, we have established a scholarship program to encourage and assist mental health professionals on their AEDP journey. This program aims to support individuals facing economic challenges and other unique barriers that would otherwise hinder their attendance at our trainings without financial aid. Our standard scholarship offers a 35% reduction, and the availability of scholarships for each course is limited.
We recognize the personal, professional, and financial investments made by each participant in our training programs. While our scholarships may not fully cover the training costs, we hope they alleviate some of the financial challenges associated with participating in AEDP training. We encourage you to introspect and honestly assess whether you can enroll in this AEDP training without the need for scholarship assistance, or if the training would be unattainable for you without such support.
