NAMI Manitowoc County is pleased to continue the tradition of annual scholarship awards begun by Prevent Suicide Manitowoc County. Scholarships are given to high school seniors pursuing a degree in mental health professions.
In 2023 Prevent Suicide Manitowoc County merged with NAMI Manitowoc County. By combining Prevent Suicide’s local impact with NAMI’s national reach and evidence-based programming we are better serving our local community. NAMI Manitowoc County continues to serve the mission of Prevent Suicide.
Mental health support is a continued and growing necessity. Thankfully, much attention is being paid to the shortage of providers in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin and across the United States.
NAMI Manitowoc County supports higher education in the fields of mental health and its many disciplines, as did Prevent Suicide Manitowoc County.
NAMI Manitowoc County’s 2026 scholarship application is open to current high school seniors who will be enrolled in an accredited college pursuing a degree in a mental health profession. Two $2000 scholarships will be awarded, presented, and announced at the recipient’s High School Spring Scholarship Awards Event.
The scholarships are in name of PFC Morgan Daly, USMC and Sgt Terry Peterson, USMC – both affected by mental health conditions and suicide. The distinguished lives these two men make real the tragedy of suicide. They left behind families who loved them dearly and will miss them forever. They also lived in a community without adequate mental health resources. We believe that by increasing the number of mental health providers in our community and beyond, more people will live in mental wellness, potentially reducing the number of suicides. The scholarships were born from the desire to directly influence and support students in mental health education across the county.
Applications will be accepted from February 1, 2026, through April 15, 2026 at the following link:
