The Anonymous Endowed Scholarship for MSW Students
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide scholarship support for a graduate student working towards a degree in Social Work (MSW), limited to the two-year tract (not applicable to a one-year program).  Additionally, students participating in off-campus cohorts or part-time programs requiring more than two years for the degree completion may apply.  It is the Donor’s preference that this award be directed to a single parent, or a married parent if there are no qualified single parents.  Further, it is the Donor’s preference that this award be directed to a student who demonstrates financial need and possesses a minimum grade point average of 3.3.  This award is to be renewable for the recipient’s second year provided the recipient possesses the required grade point average at the satisfactory completion of the first year.
