Social Work Alumni Scholarship Fund
An endowed scholarship was established by the Alumni Society Executive Committee in September 6, 1985 upon raising over $10,000 through alumni gifts. The Alumni Scholarship has supported more than 40 students since its inception. However, student tuition assistance is needed more today than ever before due to the continuous rise of tuition. Individuals seeking a career in this profession need our support to lessen the financial burden of earning a BSSW, MSW and/or PhD in social work.
Annually the interest generated by this endowment is awarded in the form of scholarships to deserving doctorate, master and/or bachelor candidates. Thanks to the continued support of alumni and friends and fundraising events the endowment reached $88,800.
Though the goal to grow the endowment to $100,000 by end of 2009 was not achieved, the Alumni Society Executive Board wants to say 'thank you' to all who contributed to the scholarship endowment throughout the campaign and looks forward to your continued support.
Remember your gifts are tax deductible and can be made on-line to the Social Work Alumni Scholarship Fund, Account # 600043, or by check payable to OSU Office of Development and mailed to 1480 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43221.
