It’s that time of year again to have students apply for On A Dragonfly’s Wings Scholarship Opportunity!
This is a great opportunity for high school students pursuing a degree in a mental health field to gain some financial support. I have attached the flyer detailing qualifications to apply, along with the application, and I am also providing a link to the online application.
The application deadline is April 30th, 2025 so if you could get this to students who you think would qualify as soon as possible that would be great.
