scholarship program
At the Black Wellness Co-Op, we understand the importance of representation and mentorship in fostering a diverse and inclusive wellness community. This scholarship is designed to not only alleviate financial barriers but also to connect recipients with experienced mentors who can guide them on their journey. By supporting BIPOC individuals, we strive to enrich our communities with wellness programming that resonates on a peer level.
Through the Black Wellness Co-Op Fitness and Health Certification Scholarship application we are delighted to support and empower individuals who are passionate about wellness and committed to increasing representation within the fitness and health industry. Our scholarship, which awards up to $1000, aims to provide financial assistance for certification programs in fitness and health disciplines of the recipients choosing.
