School of Social Work Scholarships

Clinical Social Work Pathways for North Carolina Scholarship Program

The School of Social Work offers Clinical Social Work Pathways for North Carolina (CSWP-NC), a 5-year, $3.25M need-based scholarship program for clinical MSW students who will train and serve in primary care settings, in rural and tribal areas, and with medically vulnerable communities. We expect to provide significant financial support to about 15 students per year. Applicants interested in this scholarship program should complete the FAFSA and provide the name and location of their high school if prompted as part of NC State’s graduate school application. After being offered admission to the MSW program, eligible MSW applicants will be invited to apply for CSWP-NC. This program is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration.

RRFF Masters Scholarship

Rapid Resource for Families is working with the NCDHHS Division of Child & Family Well-Being to offer ten $10,000 graduate scholarships. MSW applicants and current MSW students who are working toward clinical licensure (LCSW or LCAS) and willing to serve one year in community-based service can apply here through February 19, 2027.

The Nancy and Leland E. Garrett Scholarship

The Nancy and Leland E. Garrett Scholarship shall be used to support graduate students in the Master of Social Work program.

The Myatt-Peebles Scholarship

Established by alumna Dr. Wilma C. Peebles-Wilkins to honor the memory of her parents and their descendants, the Myatt-Peebles Scholarship is given to undergraduate students pursuing their BSW degree. Recipients are selected based on the college’s merit and need-based scholarship criteria and are renewable as long as the student continues to meet the award requirements.
