This tremendous growth would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of the following 19 coaching education providers for 2025, who all donated spots in their programs for those recipients:
In addition to the Level 1 coaching education that these recipients will receive, they will also be receiving a one-year ICF Membership thanks to ICF Professional Coaches and will have their ACC application fee waived thanks to ICF Credentials & Standards.
Applications for our 2026 ICF Foundation Scholarships will open later this year. For more information on these scholarships and to be notified when the applications open, please visit our Scholarships page. Other ways to get involved in this rapidly growing program include donating to the ICF Foundation and applying to be a coaching education provider for our 2026 scholarship program.
