For the 2008-2009 school year, the foundation is offering up to $22,000 in scholarship funds at each of the 11 Texas graduate social work programs that are accredited or in candidacy for accreditation by the national Council on Social Work Education.
Eligible schools are Abilene Christian University, Baylor University, Our Lady of the Lake University, Stephen F. Austin State University, Texas A&M University-Commerce, Texas State University, University of Houston, the University of Texas at Arlington,, UT/Austin, UT/Pan American and UT/San Antonio.
Interested applicants should contact the schools of their choice directly for information about the scholarship program.
The foundation hopes the scholarship program will be a model for other local, state and national organizations to support cultural and linguistic diversity in mental health professions.
The foundation was founded in 1940 by Miss Ima Hogg, daughter of former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg, to promote improved mental health for the people of Texas.
