Metanoia Institute is delighted to announce that our scholarship fund is returning for a third consecutive year.

The Metanoia Institute Scholarship Fund is one of the ways that we are putting our vision to increase diversity, access, and participation within the psychological professions into action. The fund will support aspiring counsellors and psychotherapists from underrepresented communities, with the aim of making Metanoia more inclusive, more accessible, and more representative of the communities we serve.

Applications are now open, so here are some key things that you need to know about the fund:

• To apply for the scholarship, you must meet the entry requirements for one of Metanoia’s taught programmes (and not already be enrolled as a Metanoia student).
• You must also live in an area ranked within decile 1 or 2 of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, be a care leaver, or be in receipt of Universal Credit or Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
• If you are awarded a scholarship, 50% of your tuition fees will be waived for each year of your programme.

Successful applicants will join a supportive community of change-makers with resources and mentorship throughout their studies at Metanoia.

The deadline for applications will be 31 March 2027.

A selection panel will review applications, and applicants will be notified by the end of April 2027.
