Funding Sources

Aside from work-related income, many students receive financial support at some time during their studies. We urge students to investigate all means of financial support. Students may find it useful to consult the reference librarian at a public library for assistance in locating fellowship, scholarship, and grant directories.

The College of Social Work and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships are the two primary sources for financial aid for our students. Assistance in the form of loans or work-study is available from various granting agencies and private donations including social work scholarships, federal, state, private, and social research institute internships. Financial aid is not available to international students through government loans or stipends nor does the College maintain a special international student fund. However, international students are considered for scholarships offered by the College.

The College of Social Work may have positions that qualify for tuition waivers to help the financing of doctoral studies. All students receiving the tuition benefit must meet minimum financial support requirements through the University of Utah for each semester that the benefit is received. Research and teaching assistantship opportunities are available and our PhD students find working in our Social Research Institute to be a critical career and scholarship enhancement. This Institute sponsors grant-funded research and demonstration projects regarding such issues as HIV/AIDS, child welfare practice and cross-system reforms, juvenile and criminal justice reforms, the aged and mental health, the challenges faced by welfare families, substance involved families, and services for persons with disabilities.
