Global Innovators ABA Scholarship

Purpose: Insight Global Initiative has partnered with the The Behavior Web (our organization of choice in Brazil) to offer greater access and equity for professional development in Applied Behavior Analysis to Portuguese speaking practitioners. Insight will provide funding in the form of scholarships to pay for The Behavior Web courses. This collaboration is aimed to increase opportunities for students and practitioners of behavior analysis who serve to advance, develop, and/or disseminate the science of applied behavior analysis internationally.

Award Amount: Award amounts vary based price of the course or training. The scholarship provides a financial award to be applied toward tuition, fees, or research-related expenses.

Courses range from $15 to $500 and are offered any-time, both live and prerecorded.
