Here is the information concentration year students will need to apply for the private scholarships offered through the School of Social Work. These scholarships are for concentration year students only. Each scholarship has different requirements (see attachments). The exact amount of each scholarship is not known at this time (they can fluctuate from year to year a bit). The money may not be in the account at the beginning of the fall semester so even if you are awarded a scholarship, you will need to have other funding in place for your tuition as a back-up plan (this is just an FYI for you).
Dr. Gisela Speaker Scholarship
Dr. Robert E. Elliott Memorial Scholarship
Dr. Nancy J. Harm Endowed Scholarship
Application for AARP Scholarship
The School of Social Work is the only school or department at UALR that has established their own Day of Service in honor of Dr. King’s legacy of selfless service. We have approximately 40 volunteers already signed up for the event, but it is not too late to sign up! Please contact Dr. Miller at jwmillerjr@ualr.edu or 501-569-3074 if you have questions or would like to volunteer.
The details: We will meet in the Big Lots parking lot (near Regions Bank) at 8:00am on Monday, January 16th. At the time of the meeting, assignments will be given. Volunteers will go to Oak Forest Methodist Church to clean their medical and dental clinics, Arkansas Veterans Home to visit with the veterans, and Lions World Services for the Blind. After the service window (8:30 - 11:30), we will meet for lunch at US Pizza in the University District.

Dr. Lillian Wichinsky and Dr. Johanna Thomas recently completed a comprehensive research and discovery study for the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services to determine the best way to address the financial needs of the more than 60,000 children in Arkansas living in relative-headed households with no parent present. Findings included recommendations regarding the feasibility of implementing a three phase kinship program in Arkansas that included Navigator Services based on model programs in surrounding states.
The Arkansas Department of Health (DPH) has engaged the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s School of Social Work to conduct its State Health Assessment Report and State Health Improvement Plan. These reports are vital documents that serve numerous functions for the state of Arkansas in general and the DPH specifically. One function is to fulfill requirements towards accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board. Additional purposes for these reports are to serve as references for policy decision making, programmatic endeavors, community development, and educational resources. This project will be completed through a collaborative process that will ensure the inclusion representation from stakeholders across all areas of the state that are reflective of the citizens of Arkansas.Â
