Enrich your student experience by getting involved in extracurricular activities and honor societies on campus! Here are some options available to our students:

• Baccalaureate Student Social Work Association (BSSWA) for undergraduates;  Graduate Student Social Work Association (GSSWA) for graduate students: These membership organizations complement the academic requirements by networking students with practitioners and undertaking service projects in community. Please contact Dr. Intae Yoon for questions regarding BSSWA and Professor Michelle Guarino for questions regarding GSSWA.
• Child Welfare Collaborative: The North Carolina Child Welfare Collaborative strengthens public child welfare services in the state by increasing the numbers and diversity of well-trained BSW’s and MSW’s working in local Departments of Social Services. Students complete a Child Welfare course and seminar as well as complete their internship in a Child Welfare agency. Please contact Professor Mary Morris for any questions.
• Epsilon Kappa Chapter of the Phi Alpha Honor Society: The Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Phi Alpha National Honor Society was established in 1995 to recognize social work students who excel academically. Once inducted, Phi Alpha members must complete service projects, attend meetings and pay dues. Please contact Dr. Sung-Ju Kim for BSW students and Dr. Gloria Anderson for MSW students.
• Men in Social Work: We provide a network and resource for men in our department and our male alumni. We create a rapport among students and alumni to support males interested in pursuing social work careers. Please contact Professor Deric Boston for any questions.

As a Social Work student at NC State, you’ll think and do by applying what you learn in the classroom in the field. Our undergraduate and graduate students complete their field practicum at diverse placements ranging from nonprofits to social services agencies. We believe your field practicum is the most essential component of your social work education. Our prep for field courses help you identify your interests within the field and then our field coordinator(s) will assist you with finding the right placement. Weekly supervision and field seminar will help you reflect on what you’re learning and how best to work with different clients and in different scenarios. 

Fellowships, scholarships and financial aid are available to all students. Be sure to submit documents early when applying as there are many students who apply for these programs. 

Newly admitted students must pay their advanced enrollment deposit immediately after accepting admission into NC State. Keep in mind that your advisor will not be able to see any of your information until 24 hours after you have paid your advanced enrollment deposit. 

All students have the option to make payments on your NC State tuition bills by using the Tuition Management System. This payment plan, allows students to make five small payments towards their bill. Visit the link provided for further details. 

In the event that a student is denied financial assistance, students have the opportunity to appeal for the aid they were denied. Contact your financial aid officer or academic advisor for more information.
