How the Workforce Development Stipend and Scholarship Programs Work

These programs offer MSW students the opportunity to specialize in an area of practice where there is a high need for qualified social workers. Students receive a financial incentive in the form of a stipend or scholarship that requires workforce development responsibilities during the MSW program and after graduation. Stipend/scholarship recipients benefit from specialized curriculum and practicum placements.

Students can apply to workforce development stipend/scholarship program from an area(s) of focus based on their interests. Stipend/scholarship programs differ in length, funding, requirements and competitive application processes. Read below for a brief description of each stipend/scholarship program, including corresponding information sheets.

Please keep in mind that these programs rely on the availability of external funding every year.

Some stipend scholarships are able to be compounded with one another.
