ROSALIE BROWN SCHOLARSHIP

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that this year’s Rosalie Brown Annual Scholarships are made available to trainees in Biblio/Poetry Therapy.  Rosalie Brown was a pioneer in poetry therapy whose dedication and competency made her a leading voice in establishing the training guidelines that are standard for NAPT and the National Federation of Biblio/Poetry Therapy.
