Purpose:

To provide one or more annual financial awards to students in the BSW and MSW program, who demonstrate the highest values of humanity, social justice, community, and service in the study of Social Work and in their contribution to the School of Social Work.

The School of Social Work Alumni Scholarship fund combines the SSW Alumni Scholarship for MSW students (established at the SSW Alumni Reunion 2000, which was held on August 4 and 5, 2000, to celebrate the School's history and accomplishments and to support graduate students) and the BSW Alumni Scholarship. This scholarship was established in June, 1994, on the occasion of professor Mary Louise Courtney's retirement from the faculty. It is a tribute to her more than 30 years of teaching and her contributions to the School of Social Work.

1. Earnings from the fund will be used to provide one or more annual scholarship(s) to a student(s) enrolled in the BSW and MSW program at the School of Social Work.
2. The recipient of the SSW Alumni scholarship will have demonstrated the highest values of humanity, social Justice, community and service in the study of social work and in the contributions to the SSW.
3. If in any given year there are no students who meet the requirements as specified, the earnings for that year will be added to the capital of the fund.
4. Any student enrolled in the School of Social Work or a faculty member at that school may nominate a student for these scholarships except a student may not nominate her or himself.
