AEDP® Institute Scholarships

The AEDP® Institute is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment that values diversity, belonging, equity, and inclusion while making AEDP® trainings accessible to clinicians worldwide. To support this mission, we offer limited scholarships to mental health professionals facing financial or other barriers to participation. Standard scholarships provide a 35% tuition reduction and are limited in number.

Scholarships are awarded 1–2 months prior to the start of each course. While they do not cover full costs, they are intended to ease the financial burden. We ask applicants to thoughtfully consider whether they can attend without assistance, or if scholarship support is essential for their participation.
