In an effort to address some of the financial hardships faced by students, ACEPT will continue to award grants to students experiencing financial insecurity. We are thrilled to share that we will again be selecting two winners ($500/each) this cycle!
Students from Chicagoland ACEPT member programs who are experiencing financial insecurity, are not currently completing a paid internship or practicum, and have not received a grant from ACEPT in the past are eligible to apply.
The deadline to apply is 12:00 pm CST on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
The winners will be selected by lottery. Awardees must submit proof from their graduate program that they are actively enrolled. They will also have to provide ACEPT with a statement explaining how they used the grant money they received to address their financial insecurity, and provide feedback on ways to improve this process.
