About THE HERTZBERG SCHOLARSHIP FUND
"The Hertzberg Scholarship Fund encourages social work students to commit to work against racism and bigotry. Racism and bigotry are scourges in our country which must be recognized and addressed by all people seeking social justice. As change agents, social workers have the tools to lead in making this essential change."
