Students are encouraged to seek internal and external scholarship opportunities to help fund their graduate education. The MSW Program staff will intermittently reach out to admitted students to inform them of funding opportunities they may be eligible for. Students can also review this list of potential funding opportunities to explore.
Please note application requirements and deadlines for each scholarship and fellowship. This resource will be periodically updated throughout the academic year.
