Attentive Behavior Care Announces its 2019 Scholarship Award

Attentive Behavior Care Scholarship ImageAt Attentive Behavior Care we understand the overwhelming challenge of financing a college or graduate school education. Tuition rates are on the rise and it’s becoming that much harder for students and their parents to afford. Although we can’t alleviate the burden completely, we do want to help.

We firmly believe that everyone – no matter their background or socioeconomic standing – deserves an opportunity to go to college and graduate school without going into debt.
