Recovery Scholarship

Recovery Scholarship is sponsored by Curran’s Calling (Curran J Tierney Foundation). Scholarship for individuals transitioning from treatment to vetted recovery residences in Massachusetts. Provides financial support for room and board at partner homes, with additional life-skills support and potential independent living scholarship upon completion.

Scholarship Sober Living - Currans Calling A scholarship foundation for people seeking recovery through sober living. In a system that is overcrowded, understaffed, and has limited resources – men and women seeking recovery are often stuck in holding locations such as Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS) or Transitional Support Services (TSS). There, they face long wait lists while having limited access to recovery.

During this time, they are often unable to work and care for their families or integrate back into society. Our scholarship helps bridge the gap between inpatient treatment and independent living by relieving some of the financial burden placed on these individuals and/or their families.

It allows them to have better access to structured sober living that provides opportunities for sustained recovery, employment, and the ability to get their lives, and along with their family’s lives, back on track. Our financial support is just the first step. Men and women entering sober living struggle with learning how to balance their daily lives, recovery, employment and staying connected with their family.

Our recovery partners and volunteers can offer life-skills support, in addition to our scholarships, to encourage and enable those in early recovery to rebuild their lives with support and guidance. Finally, there comes a point when it is time to move onto independent living! This is what every person in early recovery hopes for but sometimes it seems impossible to obtain.

All of our scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to qualify for a follow-on scholarship to transition to independent living, once they have successfully completed their time at one of our vetted recovery partner homes. Curran — A Beautiful Boy Taken From Us Too Soon Fentanyl took our son Curran in April 2022 at age 27. Yes, he struggled with substance abuse for a very long time.

He nearly beat it in 2018, yet in the end, the evil of drug use overcame him. Even as he succumbed to this terrible disease, he encouraged someone else to resist and get clean. That person, a friend of his, and of ours, is still clean and sober more than four years later and is finally becoming the wonderful person God intended.

For both of them, we want to pay this all forward. We are available to help people seeking recovery in Massachusetts (we plan to expand into New Hampshire and Rhode Island). For an overview of our programs please download our brochure and flyer .
