Student and employee scholar program
The student scholar program, previously termed the “stipend program”, has been functioning for over 26 years. In order to become a scholar, students must apply to the individual university where they attend school through the online registration system.
The employee scholar program, officially titled the Employee Education Support Program (EESP), provides tuition assistance to employees who work for the Department in order to work towards a graduate degree (MSW) at either GSU, LSU, or SUNO.
