Massage Envy Doubles Education Grant Funding for Massage Schools
Ten massage therapy schools across the United States have been awarded $10,000 grants each, as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and Massage Envy expand their collaborative funding program. The initiative, now in its eighth round, marks a significant shift as the total annual commitment climbs to $200,000.
Since the program launched in 2022, the partnership has funneled $450,000 into institutional support across 45 separate awards. This latest cycle doubles the number of recipients from five to ten, a move intended to bolster the educational pipeline for the massage therapy profession. AMTA National President Rick Greely stated the funding is vital for expanding access to educational resources and ensuring the long-term viability of the industry.
Recipients in this round include the American Institute of Alternative Medicine, Center for Massage and Natural Health, Center for the Healing Arts School for Massage and Bodywork Therapy, Fort Smith Academy of Massage, Health Studies Inc dba Phoenix School of Massage, Academy of Natural Therapy, Kneaded Energy School of Massage, Quantum School of Massage and Holistic Health, North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork, Inc., and The Professional Massage Academy. While Massage Envy provides the financial backing for these grants, the corporation maintains no administrative control over the program and does not endorse the individual institutions receiving the funds.
