With aspirations of receiving my LCSW following my degree, the opportunities I was able to have in this placement allow for me to have a better overall understanding of the importance of clinical work. This scholarship opportunity will help cover the costs of the LMSW exam to be able to further my progress toward my end goals.

As my concentration is in individuals, groups, and families, I plan to go on to get my LCSW when I graduate so I can work with adults as a psychotherapist. I want to dedicate myself to work towards obtaining my MSW degree, and from there LCSW certification. This scholarship relieves much of this tension. Thank you for your generosity!
