Big Plans: Graduate School of Social Work

PSU's nationally ranked Graduate School of Social Work is a catalyst for solving some of our community's toughest problems: youth violence, child abuse, children's mental illness and school dropout. The School trains leaders for this new century—people who will address critical issues and make far-reaching decisions that will affect our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren.

Special Social Work Scholarship

Support the next generation of social work professionals with your contribution.

McCoy Endowed Graduate Scholarship

Recipients of the McCoy Graduate Scholarship embody the late Gladys and Bill McCoy's values—service, justice, equality and diversity—and are putting these values to work in their own communities. Your friendship and support are making it possible for promising students from diverse backgrounds to realize their dreams of helping their communities build a better future.

Gerald A. Frey Endowed Scholarship

Your gift in memory of a distinguished faculty member will benefit scholarship recipients, their families, and the thousands of people whose lives they will touch throughout their careers.

Campbell Endowed Professorship in Child, Youth & Family Mentoring

Research shows that a positive relationship with a caring adult, outside the immediate family, makes a significant difference in helping at-risk youth shape a positive future—this kind of nurturing relationship can literally save a young person's life. Mentoring strategies abound, but social workers need evidence on which strategies work best. Your gift will help make it possible to bring an eminent scholar to campus to lead research efforts, curriculum development and community outreach in this critical area.

40th Anniversary Celebration Fund

Help the Graduate School of Social Work celebrate forty years of service to our region with your gift in support of its programs.
