The SSW Student Conference Fund is a fund which supports student attendance at professional conferences through small monetary awards to individual students. Guidelines for application to the fund are:
- Any SSW student in the Full or Extended program can apply for funds.
- A student is eligible once per academic year.
- The funds can be applied to the cost of registration up to $250.
- Conferences must be relevant to the student’s study of professional social work.
- To apply, students must complete a brief application, a brochure or other documentation from the conference should be attached to the application.
- Students must submit the application for approval at least one month prior to the conference.
- A student must be in good standing and cannot miss class to attend a conference. In most situations, students should not miss time from practicum placement. Any missed time from practicum placement requires pre-approval by practicum instructor and advisor.
- Students receiving funds from other SSW sources may not be eligible for support from this fund.
