What is a Child Welfare Scholarship? The UMD Center for Regional and Tribal Child Welfare Studies coordinates the Child Welfare Scholars Program and related child welfare activities and resources. The goals of the child welfare scholars program are to:

¥ Reach out to practitioners in county and tribal child welfare agencies; recruit them to return to school and obtain an MSW, and to encourage and support American Indians and other people of color to obtain their MSW and to pursue a career in child welfare.

The program achieves these goals by:
¥ Selecting qualified students who are committed to pursuing a career in public child welfare, providing up to a $10,000 annual stipend that can be applied towards expenses incurred during their MSW education, providing specialized curriculum and coursework in Child Welfare, and providing professional development
opportunities through workshops and conferences.

For more information on the Child Welfare Scholars Program, please visit the UMD Center for Regional and Tribal Child Welfare Studies website or contact Becki Hornung, Child Welfare Scholars Coordinator at (218) 726-7032.

Where can I find internship information? Visit the MSW Field Site for more information or contact Kathy Heltzer, Field Coordinator at (218) 726-8935.

Are there any paid field placements? The Social Work department does not usually offer paid field placements; however, in some situations it may be possible to use an employment setting as a field placement. For further information, visit the Field Frequently Asked Questions Page.

How do I complete/update my field placement agency application? 1) Find your placement on the field website and click on the name of your agency to view their agency information.

2) Once you have opened your specific site information, look to see if the bolded name of your agency is a link.

If your agency name IS a link, great! That’s where the agency application is. Open it and check to see if the information on the application is current and correct. If it is and the date is the only thing that needs to be changed, send an email to Kathy Heltzer at kheltzer@d.umn.edu and let her know. She will go in and change the date. If there are other changes you need to make, please email Kathy and she will send you a word version of the site application so you can easily type your changes. Email it back to her when finished and she will put it on the web.
If your agency name is NOT a link, you will need to download a word doc application from the field forms page. This should be filled out electronically by you and your supervisor. When finished, email it to Kathy Heltzer at khletzer@d.umn.edu and she will get it up on the web!
