Giving Back

Veteran MSW Scholarships

With deep roots in the military — our leadership team includes combat veterans with decades of combined service — MCNY is particularly proud of the scholarships we've offered to veteran MSW students at the University at Buffalo.

These scholarships reflect the kind of investment we try to give back to the community and our profession. We believe that veterans bring unique strengths, resilience, and perspective to the field of social work — and we're committed to supporting their journey from service member to clinician.

If you're a veteran pursuing your MSW or BSW, we encourage you to reach out to learn more about scholarship opportunities and internship placements.
