Geriatric Social Work Education Consortium (GSWEC)
The Southern California Geriatric Social Work Education Consortium (GSWEC) is the nation’s first major regional consortium consisting of GSWEC-accredited graduate social work programs, geriatric social work agencies and a variety of health and social aging service providers. Funding for student stipends comes from private foundations with a goal of creating a replicable and sustainable model for integrated field and academic graduate geriatric social work education.
Stipends: Students are selected directly through GSWEC for $4,000 stipends. A primary field placement is customized to students’ geriatric practice interests. A secondary case-based experience complements the continuum of care and offers opportunities for specialized learning needs. Students receive competency-based training with certificate upon program completion.
You must be able to pass a criminal background check to be eligible for a stipend.
If you are unable to successfully complete any of the program requirements, you must repay the stipend.
To become part of the future as a geriatric social work leader and for more information about financial aid and careers regarding the GSWEC program contact Paris Silva at 323-343-5880.
