The Joseph Nicolosi Early Career Scholarship Award

The Annual Award Program ceased with Dr. Nicolosi's death in 2017. However, The National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) continues to encourage young clinicians to further pursue the support of clients with unwanted same-sex attraction.

Every year the Joseph Nicolosi Student Scholarship Award is given by NARTH (National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality) to a student who has made a significant contribution in research furthering the Association’s goals and objectives. This is one way NARTH can encourage the next generation of mental-health professionals to carry on its mission.

NARTH seeks to express its support and appreciation to students willing take an unpopular stand for what they believe is for a greater good.
