Music Therapy Grants
Fort Worth Music Therapy Fund increases access to music therapy by providing therapy grants to Texans - especially those with cognitive disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental health needs, as well as facilities that serve these individuals. Over 285,000 people with disabilities and mental illness are currently waiting for Medicaid waiver services, according to Texas Health and Human Services. Millions more would benefit from therapy but do not qualify for those specific waiver programs.
Fort Worth Music Therapy Fund was established to assist individuals who find themselves in funding gaps - whether uninsured, underinsured, or insured yet unable to fund out of pocket costs for music therapy. FWMTF will match beneficiaries to board-certified music therapists in their communities and will award need-based grants to fund approximately 6 months of therapy.
Music Therapy Intern Scholarships
Fort Worth Music Therapy Fund provides Music Therapy Intern Scholarships to music therapy students completing an internship as part of their university course requirements for an accredited music therapy degree program.
Each Intern Scholarship:
● is $2,500
● Is paid directly to the music therapy intern
Eligibility: This scholarship is open to MT students from Texas universities. Applicants must have been accepted into an internship program with a board-certified music therapist. Current interns are eligible for consideration. Note: awards will be distributed after recipients start their internship.

Starting in 2021, Texas MT-BCs and Music Therapy Interns will be able to “shop” our inventory of donated musical instruments in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex – for FREE! Stay tuned for more details.
