Back to top Financial Aid Financial assistance is available to students in the social work program from general university sources and through stipends and endowed scholarships awarded directly through the school. Some school stipends are subject to funding of grant proposals and may not be available each year. To apply for financial assistance awarded through the School of Social Work, contact the associate dean. Financial assistance awarded through the school may carry an obligation to complete a specific type of field placement and to make yourself available for employment in that field of social work after graduation. Normally you should apply for financial aid in February of the year preceding the academic year for which you are seeking funding.
Assistance can take the form of scholarships, grants, loans, or work study assignments.
An emergency loan fund is administered by the School of Social Work for students in emergency situations. If you should find yourself in such a situation, contact your advisor or the student services office for assistance in applying for an emergency loan.
