Fuerza de V.N.C.E. Scholarship
The path to higher education is not always easy, especially for first-generation students. Many face a lack of support, guidance, and resources, often coming from families who haven't navigated the complexities of a college journey themselves. These challenges are particularly significant for students seeking to make a difference in the world.
This scholarship is designed to support and uplift those future changemakers who are committed to fighting for equality, justice, and systemic change through the field of social work. We believe that social workers play a vital role in shaping a more just society, and we want to help remove some financial barriers that may stand in the way of passionate, dedicated students who are ready to make an impact.
We are specifically looking for first-generation undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds who are pursuing a degree in social work. Applicants should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and a strong desire to be a voice for those who need it most.
If you are driven by the desire to serve your community and create lasting change, we encourage you to apply. Together, we can build a more inclusive and just world—one step at a time.
To apply, tell us your reason for pursuing social work and who you plan to help through your future career.
What was your reason for deciding that a degree in social work would be the most ideal path for you to take and since starting the program, how has that idea shifted? Who do you plan to help in the community and to what capacity do you plan to give back?
