The Social Welfare History Group (SWHG) is happy to announce its first history essay student scholarship award. The first place award is $300 and the second place award is $200. The awards will recognize historical research and scholarship. We invite papers for consideration. The Social Welfare History Group first met in 1956. The organization continues to maintain an independent identity. Over its 50 years of existence, the Social Welfare History Group has consistently encouraged the teaching of history and the value of conducting historical research relevant to social work and social welfare through presentations at conferences and the publication of bibliographies, articles and dissertations.

Award winners will be announced at the Council on Social Work Education Annual Program Meeting. Papers submitted for this award can address a variety of topics from a historical perspective ranging from the history of social work education or domestic violence to a historical examination of child welfare or grandparenting. They can examine social work education, research, theory and/or practice. Papers are required to use primary data and must include adequate documentation. The papers should contribute to the knowledge base in social work and should further highlight historical research methodology as critical to social work practice, research and program/policy development.
Papers submitted for this essay contest must not be published (nor in-press) manuscripts and should not exceed twenty (20) pages in APA style.
