Consuelo W. Gosnell Memorial
MSW Scholarship

The Consuelo W. Gosnell Memorial Scholarship is awarded to master's degree candidates in social work who have demonstrated a commitment to working with, or who have a special affinity with American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic/Latino populations, or in public and voluntary nonprofit agency settings.

Applications for the 2008-2009 fellowship and scholarship awards will be accepted January 7 - March 14, 2008. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

The Gosnell Scholarship was established through a bequest of Consuelo Gosnell, a social work practitioner who was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and died in Texas in 1987. Gosnell was a champion of civil and human rights and worked diligently to ameliorate conditions for critically under served American Indians and Latinos in the Southwest. Gosnell practiced for many years in federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The Gosnell Scholarships are awarded based on the projected annual earnings to the fund and contributions. To make a donation, click below. A panel reviews applicants and selects the award recipient.

Up to 10 scholarships in amounts ranging from $1,000 - $4,000 will be awarded for the 2008 - 2009 academic year.

Over the past few years, Gosnell scholarships were awarded to MSW students at the following schools: Stephen Austin State University, Boston University, California State University, Fordham University, Hunter College at the City University of New York, New Mexico Highlands University, New York University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Cincinnati, University of Maryland at Baltimore, University of Michigan, University of North Dakota at Grand Forks, University of Southern California, University of Utah, Virginia Commonwealth University, Walla Walla College, Arizona University, Washington University at St. Louis, Georgia State University, Saint Louis University, State University of New York at Buffalo, and the University of Washington.
