Types of funding

Four pathways to finance your training.

These can often be combined. Our team will help you identify which options best match your professional profile and budget.

FUNDAE Subsidy

Your employer deducts the cost of training from Social Security contributions. Covers clinical programmes in full or in part.

Spain

Public funding calls

Ministries, regional governments and local authorities offer grants for continuing healthcare education and social-impact projects.

ES · MX · AR

Foundations

Private entities that co-fund mental health training, particularly where demonstrable clinical impact and ethical commitment are shown.

International

Educational credit

Low-interest soft loans for postgraduate and specialist programmes. FIDERH, FUNED and banks with dedicated education programmes.

By country

Funding available in your region.

Funding calls, bodies and foundations by geography. Tap each country to see the details.

ES Spain

National, regional and professional-association funding calls combine with employer-based financing. For employees, the FUNDAE subsidy allows companies to deduct training costs from Social Security contributions, covering clinical continuing-education programmes in full or in part.

Some local authorities and regional governments publish grants for continuing healthcare education, with particular focus on projects benefiting vulnerable populations. Professional associations may offer targeted funding for courses with clinical supervision. Foundations also exist that finance mental health specialisation, prioritising social impact and academic excellence.

MX Mexico

Options include government support programmes for postgraduate and specialist training, as well as foundations that co-fund professional studies. Bodies such as FIDERH (Banco de México) and FUNED have historically supported postgraduate study through soft loans and complementary scholarships; current requirements and deadlines should always be verified.

In addition, some state health secretariats and public hospitals fund continuing education where a return plan exists that strengthens local services. Private companies, particularly in human resources and workplace wellbeing, co-fund training with an impact on psychosocial risk prevention.

AR Argentina

Ministries, provincial governments and universities offer professional development and continuing education scholarships. Hospitals, social health organisations and mental health entities frequently allocate funding for training with clinical supervision, particularly in the areas of trauma, addictions and primary care.

Foundations dedicated to education and health issue calls for professionals with a clinical track record and commitment to the public system. They commonly require a community transfer project or measurable outcomes within the service.

· International and online

For programmes delivered from Europe and Latin America, mobility grants and tuition co-financing are available through Ibero-American foundations. High-level online programmes help reduce logistical costs and allow compatibility with clinical practice, opening doors to partial grants, early-payment discounts and agreements with healthcare institutions.

Formación Psicoterapia advises interested professionals to identify synergies with their employer and potential external funding sources. Consult your human resources department, professional association or mental health foundations to align deadlines and requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

What are the main grants and funding options for psychotherapy training? +
The most common options combine public calls, private foundations, employer subsidies and educational loans. In Spain, the FUNDAE subsidy scheme is particularly relevant; in Mexico and Argentina there are governmental, institutional and foundation-based options. Check deadlines, compatibility requirements and whether coverage includes tuition, supervision or materials.
How can I improve my chances of obtaining a psychotherapy grant? +
A strong application requires a clear project with clinical and social impact, letters of recommendation from supervisors, and a motivation letter focused on trauma, attachment and psychosomatics. Include return indicators (protocols, workshops, internal supervision) and align your budget with the grant's requirements.
Can I combine several funding sources to pay for psychotherapy training? +
Yes, it is common to combine partial grants, employer subsidies or academic discounts, provided the terms allow it. Plan your timelines carefully, justify the co-financing and document the use of each source. Ensure consistency between return obligations and your clinical workload.
What should a good psychotherapy programme offer to justify funding? +
A fundable programme provides genuine clinical supervision, integration of attachment, trauma and psychosomatics, up-to-date bibliography and measurable outcome metrics. It must demonstrate transfer to practice and ethical clarity, safeguarding both patient and therapist. Transparency regarding certifications is essential.
What are the typical timelines for mental health grants and funding calls? +
Many calls open once or twice a year and require preparation 8–12 weeks in advance. Allow time for letters of recommendation, institutional procedures and potential interviews. Keep a calendar with reminders and up-to-date versions of your documentation.
Where can I find grants and funding for online psychotherapy training? +
Search the portals of Ibero-American foundations, professional associations and training institutions offering online programmes. Consider partial grants, early-payment discounts and employer agreements. Confirm whether the funding covers clinical supervision and digital materials.
