2023 Native American Birdwoman Student Scholarship

Every year, the Native American Council offers scholarships to increase access and opportunities for Native American social work students to advance in our field. We are excited to announce that the application for the 2023 Native American Birdwoman Student Scholarship is now open! This scholarship provides up to 10 $1,000 scholarships to Native American undergraduates or graduate social work students in California. Previous scholarship recipients are welcome to apply again, with the understanding that applicants with no history of receiving this scholarship will have priority.  

Native Americans are one of the most underrepresented groups in colleges nationwide, and NASW-CA is committed to ensuring Native American students have access to quality education. We are dedicated to uplifting opportunities and resources for future social workers who will bring positive changes to their communities and our world.  

Applications are due August 31, 2023.  

Application eligibility: 

• An NASW member or join NASW (Students save up to 75% off regular membership rates) 
• Enrolled in a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accredited school of social work in California 
• In your senior year with a declared social work major (if applying as an undergraduate student) 
• Enrolled or accepted into a MSW program starting in the Fall (if applying as a graduate student)
