Addiction affects individuals, families, and entire communities. Recovery from addiction is not easy, but it’s possible by actively cultivating hope. With hope, people in recovery can transform discouragement into resilience, creating a foundation for long-term sobriety and improved quality of life.
Samba Recovery’s Hope for Addiction Scholarship is an annual $1,000 award for students who are pursuing education that can help individuals and families affected by addiction or substance use disorders.
Samba Recovery welcomes applications from all eligible students, with special encouragement for those who are in recovery themselves or who have been impacted by addiction within their families.
