The Judy Byck Scholarship Program Created by donations from family, friends and colleagues, the Judy Byck Scholarship Fund honors the memory of a remarkably gifted clinical social worker, and expresses her intention that clinical social workers new to our organization be given the opportunity to study psychoanalytic concepts and approaches to psychotherapy.
Judy Byck Scholarships will be given to MSW graduate social workers who have never before taken a course at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas (formerly, the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center of the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society). Once approved, Byck Scholars will have the opportunity to attend one course (8 or 16 weeks) with the full cost of tuition waived during the 2018-2019 academic year.
All application materials and information will be kept confidential. Mental health professionals, holding the MSW degree should complete a Byck Scholarship Application by the deadline stated above. Once approved for a scholarship, Byck Scholars are eligible to enroll in the introductory course, Thinking Psychoanalytically: The Basics (Course 101) which is typically taught each Fall on Monday evenings in Durham, NC. If qualified, Byck Scholars may apply to enroll instead in an electives course (900 level) or one of the Core Curriculum courses (200 level).

Further, the applicant must be actively engaged in clinical work with patients. Once granted a scholarship, Byck Scholars will only be responsible for a $25 application fee at the time of course registration. Selection Criteria: Applicants must live in North or South Carolina and be able to attend class in person. Participation by video is available for some courses, although not for Thinking Psychoanalytically: The Basics.
