Garth Barker Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Garth Barker Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Fountain Centers director Garth Barker, who passed away in 2007. It provides financial aid to individuals who wish to continue their education in the field of chemical dependency counseling.

Garth was committed to helping chemically dependent people begin a life of recovery and was a great supporter of individuals with an interest in and aptitude for counseling. The Scholarship Fund continues to offer that support in a tangible way. There is a shortage of qualified counselors and we believe incentives such as this will encourage people to consider the counseling profession.
