Student Bursary Recipients

Student members of NSCSW are completing accredited social work programs at universities across Canada. Each year, we offer a bursary program with awards of $500 to help recipients achieve their professional goals. As part of their application, we ask them to share what professionalism in social work practice means to them, and what they hope to gain from their social work education.

Congratulations to all of our student bursary winners!
