A gift to the College Fund for Social Work provides scholarships, helps recruit and retain outstanding faculty, supports travel to conferences and other learning opportunities, and allows us to respond to immediate needs.

Since its founding in 1942, the UT College of Social Work has consistently met challenges with courage, confidence, and compassion. Today, these values are more important than ever as we serve our state and region.
We are proud that more than 40% of Master’s-level social workers in Tennessee are our graduates. Our alumni play pivotal roles directing and staffing community mental health centers, domestic violence shelters, family service agencies, hospitals, and schools. Their impact underscores the vital importance of social work education.
We rely on the support of our alumni and friends to continue this mission. Your donations help reduce student debt, support student travel and creative activities, and fund outreach through social justice innovation initiatives and other community projects.
Every gift, whether large or small, makes a difference. Help us build on our tradition of excellence in social work education and ensure it remains accessible to the next generation of social workers.
Thank you and go Vols!
