HRSA Grant | Heidelberg University

Why the HRSA grant matters?

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant funds programs that prepare the next generation of counselors to serve communities where care is often hardest to access—marginalized, underserved, and rural populations. This grant allows you to gain specialized training, make a real difference, and receive support while you’re still in your MAC program.
