ISAC Scholarship Assistance Available

 


 

 

ISAC has opened the 2022-23 application for the Post-Master of Social Work School Social Work Professional Educator License Scholarship Program.  Because students at your institution may be eligible for the program, we’re providing the below to help you share information with those who could be interested in applying. 


Program Highlights

  • The Post-Master of Social Work School Social Work Professional Educator License Scholarship Program was designed to encourage students to become social workers in Illinois schools and to provide minority children with access to a greater number of positive minority role models, better reflecting the diversity of Illinois students.
  • Scholarship assistance is available for qualifying licensed social workers, with master's degrees in social work, who wish to obtain an Illinois Professional Educator License with an Endorsement in School Social Work.
  • Each scholarship pays tuition and mandatory fee costs for an academic year (including summer) at participating Illinois public universities, with priority given to minority applicants.
  • To receive this scholarship, an applicant must agree to work as a social worker in an Illinois school.
    • If this commitment is not fulfilled, the scholarship converts to a loan, which must be repaid with interest.
  • 2022-23 awards will cover all terms of the 2022-23 academic year (fall 2022, spring 2023, and summer 2023) for which the applicant is eligible and enrolled.
  • Priority consideration will be given to applications received at ISAC on or before Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
  • Complete program information, including eligibility requirements, are available on our website. 
  • Students who wish to apply can access the application through the ISAC Student Portal’s Program Applications & Status Checks area. 

Please share this information with students who are enrolled or may be considering enrolling in a qualifying program. 

Sincerely,
