SSA Scholarship Awards

The School of Social Service Administration offers excellent scholarship funding to a large majority of its students.

The School of Social Service Administration's scholarship awards are made on the basis of financial need and merit. Limited additional merit scholarships are available and are awarded with consideration given to academic achievement and promise for the field of social work. Scholarships are granted for one year only. Students must reapply for second-year awards. Scholarships do not preclude loans to students who may require additional financial aid to complete their work.

Most grants are made in the spring for the following academic year. Entering or reentering students applying for awards administered by the School must file an Application for Financial Aid with the School at the time of application for admission.

The School awards basic scholarships from public grants, University unrestricted gift aid, and several School endowed and restricted student aid funds. These scholarship funds have been established to provide financial assistance to SSA students without restriction based on an assessment of financial need and merit.

These additional scholarship funds have been established to provide financial assistance to SSA students with particular needs or attributes based on an assessment of need, merit, and eligibility.
