Scholarship Programs

Since the Release Foundation was established in 2019, we have awarded over 300 scholarships.

Anyone who needs treatment, is willing to receive it, and lacks the financial means is eligible to apply.

Our Model

The Release Foundation partners with treatment centers across the country to expand access to high-quality recovery and mental health care.

Championing a trust-based funding model that integrates scholarships, education, and community, the Release Foundation supports innovative treatment and recovery solutions that foster resilience and empower individuals and families on their healing journey.

Although our partners serve in diverse ways, they’re united by a common vision—a world where recovery is accessible, stigma is reduced, and people have the opportunity to thrive. We believe that everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality care, and through our partnerships, that vision is becoming a reality.

Impact Stories

  • “Today marks four months of continuous sobriety for me. Four solid months of rediscovering parts of myself that have been hidden away for so very long. The scholarship that Release Recovery has given me has been life changing. I now look forward to the future and finally see myself able to pick up the pieces of my past and create a beautiful life for myself.”

  • “There was a time in my life when everything felt like it was falling apart. Addiction had me in a chokehold—alcohol, drugs, and the constant struggle with my mental health left me feeling lost, isolated, and hopeless. But then something changed. With the help and encouragement from the Release Recovery Foundation, I found a path I never thought I’d walk—the path to recovery. Today, I’m proud to say I’m living at a “sober living,” attending IOP five days a week, and I’m thriving. Recovery is a lifelong process, but I’m here, I’m sober, and for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely happy."

  • "Words can hardly express how thankful I am for the role Release Foundation has played in my journey to recovery. From the very beginning, the team welcomed me with compassion and understanding. Through the programs, counseling, and community I participated in, I began to rediscover myself and rebuild my life. Each day brought new challenges, but also new strength, and I wouldn’t have been able to face those without your unwavering support. Thanks to Release Foundation I am now living a life of clarity, purpose, and hope. I’ve learned to believe in myself again and to take each day as an opportunity for growth and gratitude. This transformation would not have been possible without the dedication and kindness of every person involved in your mission. You are all changing lives in ways that words cannot fully describe."
