Apply for a Changemaker Scholarship!

Students often come to our program from communities that have experienced inequity, economic difficulty, or limited access to higher education. Tuition costs and high cost-of-living can cause students to work excessive hours, take on significant debt, or delay their education. We know that these barriers can deter or derail even capable and motivated learners.

These scholarships are designed to:

• Partially or fully cover remaining tuition costs for BASW students based on financial need (awards will range from $5,000 to $10,000 annually for 2 consecutive years; $10,000-$20,000 total)
• Allow students to focus on learning, practicum education, and community engagement
• Support students who might not otherwise be able to pursue a social work degree
•  Recruit students into a rewarding, high-impact profession.

By reaching as many students as possible, this scholarship initiative recognizes that broad access—not just a few individual awards—is essential to building a strong, diverse, and effective social work profession.
