Reducing Disparities in Child Welfare Scholarship awarded
The Child Maltreatment Solutions Network acknowledges the critical problem of racial and ethnic disproportionality and disparity in the child welfare system. The Reducing Disparities in Child Welfare Scholarship is designed to support an undergraduate CMAS minor student who demonstrates a clear understanding of and commitment to addressing ethnic and racial disparities in child welfare-serving systems. This focus aligns with the Solutions Network mission to address and reduce disparities in the child welfare field and support diversity, equity, and inclusion with respect to education, research, and practice in the fields of child maltreatment and child welfare.
