Scholarships
Awards and Scholarship
The school offers a variety of opportunities to students for funding. During the 2006-2007 academic year we awarded nearly 40% of incoming and continuing students partial tuition scholarships. Eligibility for many of these funds are based on a students demonstrated financial need, academic excellence or area of social work interest. The school also awards continuing students scholarships based on nominations received from faculty, field educators, field liaisons and students.
