Additional Financial Aid Sources

It is not possible to give complete information about all grants available, since they vary considerably from year to year. Some states offer stipends to prepare workers for their child welfare programs, and a few offer grants in their public assistance and health programs. A state stipend carries a commitment to work for the agency. Inquiries should be addressed to the department of public welfare, public health, or mental health of the state in which the candidate wishes to work.

A few private agencies offer stipends, usually with the understanding that the individual will work for the agency after receiving a master's degree. In most instances, admission must be approved by the School before an agency will offer educational stipends. Students interested in agency scholarships should make inquiries with private agencies in their localities and may also wish to contact various professional social work organizations.

Students who take their second-year field instruction in an Illinois public school are eligible to apply for a paid Illinois School Social Work internship.
