Scholarships

The Antoinette C. Hodes Academic Scholarship is given to a student who is enrolled in a Kentucky college or university, has performed volunteer service in a mental health setting, and is preparing for a career in the mental health field. The late Ms. Hodes was a Kentucky philanthropist.

The Evan and Katherine Harrod Academic Scholarship  was established in memory of the parents of late board member Evan "Pete" Harrod and is given to a student who qualifies for a Hodes Scholarship and is from a rural area. Mr. Harrod was a long-standing member of the Board of Directors of MHA Kentucky who lived and farmed in Henry County.

You may apply for both scholarships with this single form, however only one scholarship will be awarded per person
2020 and 2021 awards were postponed because of the COVID19 pandemic.
So, we're giving them away in 2022!
