Each academic year, applications for the HCWEC project are accepted from current and upcoming MSW students who will be completing the Child and Family (C&F) Specialization at the University of Hawaiʻi Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health. Both campus-based and distance education students are eligible to apply. To be considered for funding, the candidate must:
- attend full-time OR
- be a DHS employee who plans to attend part-time or full-time.
The HCWEC project is contingent on funding from the Department of Human Services. Students should contact their financial aid officer to discuss how the stipend may impact their financial aid package.
HCWEC applications for the 2025-26 cohort are currently closed!
