Academy of Natural Therapy Awarded National Massage Education Grant

The Academy of Natural Therapy is very proud to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of a 2026 national massage school grant funded through a partnership between the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and Massage Envy.

As one of only five schools nationwide chosen in this latest round, the Academy has been awarded a $10,000 grant to support massage education and strengthen the future of the profession.

This grant is part of a multi-year initiative designed to advance massage education, expand access to training, and help schools prepare the next generation of skilled massage therapy professionals. Since the program launched in 2022, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested in massage schools across the country to help them innovate, grow, and better serve students.

What This Means for Our Students
For current and future students at the Academy of Natural Therapy, this funding represents:

• Continued investment in high-quality education
• Enhanced learning resources and tools
• Support for hands-on, career-ready training
• Strengthened pathways into a growing wellness profession

Massage therapy continues to be a meaningful and in-demand career path for those called to natural healing, holistic health, and hands-on care. Grants like this help ensure that students receive the training, support, and professional preparation they need to launch successful and sustainable careers.

We are honored to be recognized as part of a national effort to strengthen massage education and support the future of natural healing professions. Most of all, we are excited about what this means for our students, the dedicated individuals who are stepping forward to build careers centered on care, wellness, and community impact.

If you’ve been considering a career in massage therapy or holistic health, there has never been a better time to begin.
