Mission-based financial aid is awarded to incoming and continuing MSW students who have demonstrated intellectual and personal qualities likely to lead to roles and careers central to the social welfare system. This includes a commitment to engaging in roles that involve social welfare institutions and systems most likely to impact major social problems and that serve the most economically and socially disadvantaged groups in society. Personal qualifications considered essential to successful social work practice-such as sensitivity and responsiveness in relationships, concern for the needs of others, adaptability, good judgment, creativity, integrity and skill in written communication-will be considered. This determination shall be based primarily on an evaluation of all previous academic work, recommendations, human service employment experience, the applicant's written supplementary statement, other application documents and the School of Social Work Financial Aid Application. Please note that no separate financial aid application is required.

This scholarship was established by Merle and Marshall Goldman. It supports an MSW student who is interested in pursuing a career in Jewish communal service. Please note that no separate financial aid application is required.

Pregulman Scholarship is awarded to a student involved in Jewish communal service. Please note that no separate financial aid application is required.
