2025 Domestic Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) Scholarship

Ends on

The NBCC Foundation (NBCCF) is pleased to announce the Domestic Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) scholarships. These scholarships are made possible through a partnership with the Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE). This scholarship program aims to increase the number of available professionals providing quality career development services. In doing so, the GCDF scholarship program plays an important role in the Foundation’s mission to leverage the power of counseling by strategically focusing resources for positive change.

Six (6) domestic scholarships of up to $1,000 each are available to cover the costs of CCE-approved GCDF training. You can find a list of CCE-approved GCDF U.S. training providers on their website. Training must be chosen within 12 months of award notification, and an invoice or bill must be submitted to NBCCF. Funds will be remitted directly to the approved training provider. NBCCF reserves the right to adjust the award if the tuition is less than the award amount.

  • Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status.
  • Applicants must possess a high school diploma/GED, associate degree, bachelor’s degree, or graduate degree.
  • Applicants must be seeking their initial GCDF credential.
