ADMISSIONS - Affordability
Financial
assistance is available to degree-seeking students enrolled
full time in the MSW program. Two full-credit courses per
trimester is considered full time.
You may be eligible for financial aid including state and federal loans or grants. If your employer provides tuition assistance, you can participate in Augsburg's employer tuition reimbursement program. We also offer several scholarships and tuition discounts which may be available to you.
Social Work Scholarships
The social work department at Augsburg offers seven departmental
scholarships ranging in amount from $300 to $3,000. These
scholarships are available for second year MSW students. We also recommend
students consider applying for social work scholarships offered
by the Minnesota Social Service Association, the National Association
of Social Workers, the Council on Social Work Education, and other
social work related foundations. For tips on searching for these and
other social work scholarships, refer to the MSW catalog.
