The June Braund Scholarship is designed for the student with interests in gerontological counseling. As our population ages, the
needs of our senior citizens become ever more prominent in our society. This scholarship will provide $5,000 per academic year, with a cap of $15,000 over a 3 year period.
In addition to financial assistance, the recipient will be privileged to be mentored by Dr. Ron Braund, the scholarship donor,
counseling entrepreneur and PSI/Richmont alumnus. Dr. Braund will offer his experience to the recipient as the student grows
professionally and personally in the field of gerontological psychotherapy.
The recipient must complete a combination of educational experiences during his/her time at Richmont, including: (1) Two masters-level courses in gerontology (either
through independent study or enrollment at an accredited graduate school in the local area),
(2) approximately 5 hours per week with service groups, individuals or families dealing with Alzheimer’s or choosing an internship outplacement that works directly with
this population.
