Our Wiener Scholarship is available for Yeshiva University Wurzweiler School of Social Work and Columbia University - Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) social work students majoring in community organization, social administration, and advanced generalist practice, as well as students studying toward an M.P.A. in the dual-degree program between New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies.
Wurzweiler students must complete two years of field placement at UJA-Federation. Students will be placed in a fundraising department for one year of the internship and in a planning and program development department for the second year. For Columbia - JTS students, the first year of the internship will be in a network agency and the second year internship assignment at UJA-Federation will be divided between fundraising and program planning. Wagner-Skirball students are also expected to complete two internships at UJA-Federation. The scholarship requires a two-year work commitment to the organization following graduation. Applicants must be committed to macro-level practice.
If you're working toward an M.P.A. or M.S.W. at another program, please inquire to determine whether your program is eligible for consideration.
A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available, and students will also receive a stipend.
