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 2004-2005 academic year.
