The American Clinical Social Work Association (ACSWA) announces the new Shelomo Osman Memorial Scholarship Award. A $1,500 prize will be given to a first year student in a social work master’s level program.
The Osman Award goes to a first-year graduate student who submits a winning clinical paper that recounts the process of a clinical intervention. The judges are faculty from graduate schools of social work, practitioners, and directors and staff of ACSWA. The awards are named for the late Shelomo Osman, MSW, BCD, of Los Angeles, the third president of the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work (now, like ACSWA, a unit of the Center for Clinical Social Work). Lesser cash prizes are awarded to runners up. Guidelines and scholarships for both foundation and advanced MSW students can be found at acswa.org/students.
“The Osman Awards show our commitment to all our graduate students,” stated Yvette Colón, President of ACSWA and The Center. “We want them to discover ACSWA as their link to the clinical social work practice community.”
ACSWA continues to sponsor the annual $2,000 Judith Holm Memorial Student Award for final-year students enrolled in a social-work master’s program. The awards are named for the late Judith Holm, MSS, BCD, of Shaker Heights, Ohio, first President of the organization. ACSWA awards the $1,000 Snooks Prize to the school that educates the Holm Awards winner.
