Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than one month before the start of the first course.

Please note that there will be a limited number of seats per course. At times, but not always, we will be able to support multiple employees attending the same course.

If a full scholarship for 10+ staff is awarded, we encourage organizations to ask staff to choose the course/content most applicable to a clinician's current client base or work.
If an organization is selected for a group scholarship, a Cape Cod Institute staff member will reach out to organize the registration process and discuss course availability.
