Even if you successfully finish an addiction treatment program, many individuals find themselves relapsing because they don’t have the skills necessary to maintain a sober lifestyle. A sober living program can help you gain these skills, but you may be afraid that you can’t afford this program. Fortunately, when you apply for the scholarship from Living Amends, you have assistance in paying for the support you need. We’ll help you fund your first three months living in one of our sober living partners. To apply for one of our scholarships, complete the form below. If you have any questions, we invite you to complete our contact form.

Application Process

Living Amends Scholarships are limited and highly competitive so please fill out application completely before hitting SUBMIT!

Unfortunately, we are unable to honor all applications with a scholarship.

We only give to individuals who are serious about their sobriety and have personally already invested in their long-term recovery by attending a residential treatment facility. Also, each recipient must agree to donate back 25% of the total awarded amount within a year’s time. Our contract has to be signed and returned before the first month funds are given to the sober living facilities.

What Will the Scholarship Pay?

At no point while working with Living Amends will we pay for the entirety of your stay at a sober living facility. Scholarships will pay:

75% of first sober living month’s rent
50% of second sober living month’s rent
25% of third sober living month’s rent

We believe that when you are paying for at least a portion of your stay at a facility, you’re more invested in the recovery process. However, we want to ensure that you’re getting the support you need throughout the treatment process, so we’ll continue to work with you throughout your stay.

Who Is an Ideal Applicant for the Living Amends Scholarship Program?

Not everyone is a suitable applicant for our scholarship. We are looking for someone:

Who has completed a residential stay in treatment and moving onto sober living
Who is serious about working a solid 12 step program
Who has a sponsor
Who is committed to attending 12 step meetings
Who has a job or is actively looking for employment

If you fulfill each of these requirements, you should apply to our scholarship fund.
