We believe social work is one of the most vital tools we have to fight social injustice, heal communities, and drive meaningful, systemic change. Yet, too often, the individuals most drawn to this cause face steep financial barriers and the daunting weight of college debt. We established this scholarship to help clear that path. By easing the financial burden for future social workers, we hope to ensure that passion, purpose, and lived experience are what define a student's journey, not their financial circumstances.

To our scholarship recipients: We deeply admire your dedication to standing up for others and serving our communities. Your hard work, perspective, and compassion are essential to creating a more just world. It is our honor to support you as you take this next step in your education at The Ohio State University, and we cannot wait to see the impact you will make.
