TOWN OF HINGHAM SOBER LIVING SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Document.png

New Sober Living Scholarship Opportunity. Sponsored by the town of Hingham.​

Recovery scholarship opportunities are available to those in treatment to provide financial and emotional support for those motivated to continue to heal their lives after treatment.

​

Approved candidates are given a chance to get back on their feet and transition into their new sober life or continue their work in recovery in a safe and successful way without the immediate financial burden of paying rent right after treatment. Our goal is to support and empower individuals as they transition out of drug or alcohol addiction treatment and into recovery to help them establish a new, healthy lifestyle or continue to grow in the environment that they are currently in.
