The University of California, San Francisco School of Nursing is a pioneer in psychiatric-mental health advanced practice. Their Global Health Scholarships give preference to international applicants pursuing a PMHNP. Awards range from $5,000 to full tuition for the two-year DNP program.

In Canada, the University of Toronto offers highly competitive international PMHNP entrance scholarships up to CAD 20,000 per year. Funding helps attract exceptional candidates to their top-ranked program based in Toronto.
