The Kutenai Art Therapy Institute BIPOC Scholarship aims to uplift and support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students.
At the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute (KATI), we are committed to building a socially just world. We believe that BIPOC perspectives and voices are critical in creating an equitable art therapy community. We recognize that BIPOC communities have faced and continue to face systemic inequalities in art therapy education, and we want to do our part to address these barriers.
This scholarship is part of our ongoing efforts to undo the structural barriers that prevent BIPOC communities from pursuing their dreams in art therapy.
