The WVU Division of Social Work and its agency partners are pleased to announce our selection as one of 21 schools in 2008 to receive a Hartford Partnership Program for Aging Education grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation. This program will recruit and train MSW students to engage in customized rotational field placements and specialized coursework and seminars that build competencies and leadership skills in geriatric social work in small towns and rural areas. In addition to this excellent training students will receive a tuition waiver for an elective in aging.
Applications for the program will be accepted beginning in January, 2010. Students will be chosen from the Morgantown, Charleston/Beckley, and Martinsburg MSW Programs to begin in Fall 2010. The application deadline is Friday, February 19, 2010. The application process is competitive.
