The MSW with the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) offers a distinctive educational opportunity for emerging leaders committed to helping Jewish communities meet 21st-century challenges while also addressing broader social concerns.
The MSW with JCLP is a five-semester on-campus program conducted over 20 consecutive months:
Program Funding: Funding for 2023-2024 is to be determined. Merit awards and need based financial aid are also available. All eligible admitted applicants are encouraged to investigate and apply for the Nachshon Project Graduate Fellowship Launchpad Track.
To guarantee full consideration, please apply by our March 1 deadline. Applications received after March 1 will be considered on a space-available basis.
When completing the MSW application, please answer "yes" to the question, "Do you plan to apply to an SSW Special Program?" found on the Financial Assistance page of the online application and then select the Jewish Communal Leadership Program checkbox.
