Resources and Opportunities

The School of Social Work is committed to supporting students through accessible resources and meaningful opportunities. This page features scholarships, student organizations and services that foster learning, connection and success.

Scholarships

This scholarship is to provide more financial support for MSW students who receive financial aid but still face unmet financial need in covering their SFSU expenses.

In memory of Stella Chan, alumnus, the fund is to be used as an annual scholarship for current SFSU graduate and current SFSU undergraduate Social Work students who are committed to working in the Asian community.

Study Abroad

The School of Social Work offers two study abroad programs for BASW students as part of its commitment to fostering a global perspective to social work practice and SFSU’s strategic goal of promoting equity in international education. These programs are part of bilateral exchanges between SFSU and partner institutions overseas which offer students unique opportunities to study abroad as part of their social work degree.

Students participate in the International Social Work Course offered by Fulda Hochschule Department of Social Work. Fulda is a historic town in the state of Hessen located 98 kilometers northeast of Frankfurt. The program is offered in English. 

Students take a minimum of 12 units of social work courses offered by the City University of Hong Kong. Students have the option of studying abroad in either the Fall or Spring semester. The courses are taught in English.
