School of Social Work 90th Anniversary Fund

The School of Social Work at Wayne State University is celebrating 90 years of service in the Detroit community. Over the past nine decades, the school has been dedicated to preparing students to become capable, ethical, and compassionate social support practitioners. This is accomplished through challenging classroom instruction, mentoring from accomplished faculty members, and rigorous hands-on learning experiences. With your support, we can continue to build champions of social change in Detroit and other urban communities. Please give, for tomorrow’s changemakers.

School of Social Work Emergency Fund

The purpose of this fund is to provide limited emergency financial assistance to currently enrolled BSW and MSW students who are at risk of having to withdraw form their program of study due to financial difficulties.

School of Social Work Finish Line Scholarship

This fund supports students who are close to graduation but in need of additional financial support to register for their final classes, “cross the finish line,” and earn their degree.


Achieve your charitable goals and create your WSU legacy with a gift in your estate plan.

Wayne State faculty and staff can give via payroll deduction here.
