Outstanding Student Award
Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work (WSSCSW) is your state organization dedicated to clinical social work practice. A part of our mission is to support and promote high standards of practice for those entering the profession. To this end, we offer our Outstanding Student Award to Washington State masters level social work students in their graduating year.
This year, we will be offering 1 Grand Prize of $350 plus a 1 year membership to the WSSCSW to the strongest paper or project submitted, and a runner up prize of $150 plus 1 year membership to the WSSCSW to the second strongest paper or project. Winners will be mentioned in the WSSCSW newsletter and will be honored at graduation, as well as at the WSSCSW annual party held in early June.
