MSW Specific Opportunities

The School of Social Welfare has several sources of financial assistance available to students who meet various criteria. Awards are made on an annual basis and are applied directly towards tuition and fees in most instances. MSW students interested in applying are required to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as well as a School of Social Welfare application. All recipients are expected to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0, and students must renew their applications each year they wish to be considered.

These awards are made possible through the generous support of friends and alumni of the School of Social Welfare and KU Endowment Association. We are grateful to all of our donors who have contributed to make these awards possible and to the KU Endowment Association for their faithful stewardship of these resources. 

To be considered for funds, complete the  application form. Applications must be received by April 15th.   Awards are made on an annual basis.
