There are 13 Social Work-specific graduate scholarships that students may apply for. Each year, the School of Social Work honors new scholarship recipients.

A dual MSW-Master of Arts in Church and Community Ministries degree is perfect for students who believe in the power of good works and strong faith. The program is available in partnership with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
