CARL A. SCOTT BOOK SCHOLARSHIPS
We are pleased to announce that the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) will award two Carl A. Scott Book Scholarships in the amount of $500 each for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Awarding these annual scholarship awards fulfills the initial programmatic objectives that the Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund embraced shortly after it was set up by the CSWE Board of Directors in 1986. The Fund honors the memory of the late Carl A. Scott, a longtime staff member of CSWE and a pioneer in obtaining scholarships for students from ethnic groups of color. Specifically, the Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund was developed to continue Scott’s legacy of promoting equity and social justice in social work. In this regard, it is intended that the book scholarships will be awarded to students who have demonstrated a commitment to work for equity and social justice in social work.
The awards will be made to students from ethnic groups of color (African American, American Indian, Asian American, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican) who are in their last year of study for a social work degree in a baccalaureate or master’s degree program accredited by CSWE.
Applications for scholarships for the 2006-2007 academic year must be received by May 3, 2006.
An application form, which may be reproduced, is on the back of this page.
Thank you for your support!
