SSW Joshua Childrenʼs Foundation Center on Child Sexual Abuse announces the availability of MSW scholarships. Partial scholarships are available to MSW students in their foundation or advanced years, in any concentration and any program at the SSW. Joshua Fellows must have an interest in devoting at least a portion of their careers to work with child victims and/or adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in practice, prevention, policy or research.
Joshua fellows must be in a placement or be entering a placement allowing a significant portion of work with or on behalf of youth or adults whose lives have been touched by childhood sexual abuse.
Scholarship applications should include a written statement of interest that includes 1) the origins of the applicantʼs interest in childhood sexual abuse, 2) a vision of how the applicant will devote a career to responding to childhood sexual abuse, and 3) a description of the field placement and/or practicum experience (clinical, prevention, or other direct practice or policy, advocacy, or research) that will support training in child sexual abuse. Applications should not exceed five double-spaced pages in length.
Joshua Fellows are required to participate in a SSW monthly seminar on child sexual abuse or equivalent.
Finalists for the scholarships will be interviewed by the Center Director.
Applications should be emailed to contej@u.washington.edu.
