Rosa Jimenez-Vazquez Adelante Scholarship: Sirviendo la Comunidad Hispana

The Rosa Jimenez-Vazquez Adelante Scholarship: Sirviendo La Comunidad Hispana was established in 2013 through an initial gift of $10,000 from Dr. Diane Bernard and friends of the VCU School of Social Work. This scholarship is supported by friends of the VCU School of Social Work. The scholarship supports full- or part-time upper-level B.S.W. or M.S.W students to help fulfill the need for more bilingual social workers. This fund supports students with Spanish-language proficiency, as well as cultural sensitivity and competence, and a deep understanding of Latino communities. Must have a current or upcoming field placement with an agency that works directly with Latino communities and demonstrated financial need as determined by VCU Office of Financial Aid.
