Marin CAMFT has renamed its Scholarship Program in honor of Kristina Carey, an active Marin CAMFT member who died in February 2017. This scholarship is granted to several pre-licensed clinicians in Marin County each year.

For the 2026 cycle, Marin CAMFT will be offering three $1,000 scholarships. We will award one scholarship to a Trainee MFT, one to an Associate MFT, and one to either an MFT Trainee or MFT Associate who identifies as belonging to an underrepresented group in the mental health field (example: BIPOC or LGBTQIA+). 2026 will be the 29th year that Marin CAMFT has offered scholarships. They reflect the enthusiasm, generosity and commitment of the chapter's membership to encourage and support future members of our profession.

Eligibility for the scholarships:

• Be a current member of this local Marin CAMFT chapter.
  
• Be a current member of State CAMFT.
• Be a trainee or associate living in Marin, and/or enrolled in a Marin County college, and/or be a trainee or associate at a Marin County agency or program.

There are no restrictions on the use of these funds and we have endeavored to make the application process as simple as possible.

Application submission is followed by an interview. Scholarship application forms become available in November each year and will be posted below when they are ready. Acceptance of applications closes on January 31.

Interviews for scholarships for the 2026 cycle will be held on March 7, 2026.
