Scholarships
MSASS provides numerous scholarship opportunities for students. There is no separate
application, but students must meet the criteria outlined below.
All full-time students are considered for merit scholarships and students need to apply for
admission by February 1 of each year to be considered. The same criteria we use for admissions is
used to determine decisions for scholarship funding.

Criteria
- A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
- Evidence of the capacity to succeed in a graduate-level social work program based on
undergraduate work and any previous graduate work. This includes courses in the social and
behavioral sciences that would ensure the applicant’s ability to demonstrate creditable work at the
graduate level. - Evidence of a combination of personal qualities and values that are considered essential for
the professional practice of social work: strong moral character; strong analytical and
communication skills; a caring and compassionate nature; and a personal commitment to social
justice, empowering individuals, and serving vulnerable and under-represented groups.
Types of Scholarships
