MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
1.
Completion of a master’s degree between May 1, 2024 and August 24, 2025 from an
accredited program in either Counseling or Social Work. This is defined as
having either the diploma in hand or a letter from the graduate program
director verifying the completion of all degree requirements pending
institution graduation ceremony.
2. Completion of either an Internship or Field Placement at a university
counseling service or community agency. This clinical experience must be
completed before beginning the fellowship, except as described below.
·
Applicants whose Internship or Field Placement is scheduled to be
completed after August 1, 2025 should discuss this conflict with the supervisor
of that field placement prior to applying for this fellowship position, to see
if the internship can be completed sooner (i.e., by working extra hours or
using vacation or professional development time).
·
Applicants who are able to negotiate an earlier completion of their
internship in this way will be given full consideration for the Post-Master’s
Fellowship.
·
Applicants who are scheduled to complete their Internship/Field Placement
in August are still eligible for the Post-Master’s Fellowship, provided they
can attend the majority of the orientation training period (August 4-22, 2025)
and make up the remainder of their Internship/Field Placement hours following
completion of the orientation. Such applicants should include an anticipated
schedule of Internship/Field Placement completion in their verification letter
(see #4 under Application Procedures). Leave time for completion of
Internship/Field Placement will then be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
