  4. Rosemary Sarri Endowed Scholarship

    The Rosemary Sarri Endowed Scholarship was established by gifts from alumni and friends to honor Rosemary Sarri, PhD, on her retirement from her distinguished teaching and research career at the UM School of Social Work. Dr. Sarri generously matched these contributions to double the amount of the fund. This award provides two scholarships, one for students in the MSW program and one for the students in the Joint PhD Program who have interest in community change, policy and political social work, management and leadership or program evaluation and applied research. Preference is given to students with financial need.
