MSW Students

MSW students can join the WSSCSW before they graduate. They can then become a part of the organization and receive the benefits listed for the New Professionals below. Even without membership students can join a mentorship group in their second year of graduate school, and begin to get clinical social work support on a monthly basis to help with their transition to the career field.

The WSSCSW supports a student scholarship for the University of Washington School of Social Work. This scholarship, in the amount of $1,000, goes to a second year student who intends to pursue clinical social work in their career.
