Generations Scholarship

Respecting and celebrating diversity is an inherent part of the mission of the UW-Superior Social Work program, and is a central theme of service when social workers are working in the community. In promoting the dignity, worth and empowerment of the individual client, while working to improve and sustain the social environment, the program seeks to strengthen students’ interest in, respect for, and skills in working effectively with diverse and vulnerable populations. The program also seeks to sensitize and prepare students to help service systems toward constructive change when relating to diverse populations.

This scholarship was made possible by generous anonymous donors who are passionate about social work and social work students.
