BHHEP Program Application

Student (College)

Behavioral Health Higher Education Program (BHHEP)
BHHEP is a tuition reimbursement program designed by BHARP and its member counties to increase the availability of high-quality candidates for the behavioral health Health Choices provider network. The ultimate goal is to increase access to behavioral health services for our members by increasing provider staffing levels.
BHHEP is designed to provide prospective bachelor's and masters-level college students in Pennsylvania with the opportunity to have the program pay for their entire senior year of classes. In exchange, students would complete an internship with a provider during college and be placed with the same provider for two years of employment after graduation. BHHEP may also support a paid internship for students in place of tuition reimbursement

Who is Involved?

The provider is the entity with which the student will complete an intern.ship during their senior year and, additionally, complete two years of employment with that same provider following graduation. The internship experience requirement is designed to ensure that both students and providers are a quality match, which will lead to the success of the individual with the provider.

The college/university is the entity that is ultimately connected to both the county and the provider and finds qualified students who may take advantage of BHHEP.

The BHHEP Advisory Council is a panel of five counties that provides general decision making and overall communication regarding BHHEP.

BHARP fulfills an administrative role by overseeing the project and collaborating with the vendor to implement BHHEP. BHARP also facilitates the BHHEP Advisory Council meetings.

Who can Apply?
