NASW Ohio BSW Student Representative Janae Christopher shares an exciting Giving Tuesday opportunity. Our Sponsor-a-Student campaign launched at the NASW Ohio Conference, and thanks to the generosity of Ohio social workers, we are already able to cover over 30 student memberships for 2026. But we’re not stopping at 30. With your support, we can open even more doors for social work students to access resources, networking and professional development. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give this Giving Tuesday, consider contributing to the Sponsor-a-Student Fund. http://www.naswoh.org/studentscholarship

On this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to support the next generation of social workers through our Student Scholarship Membership Program. Thanks to generous supporters we have already raised $2,080 to help students begin their social work journey. Today, you can join them in opening doors for future social workers.

Every donation provides a full year of NASW Ohio membership for a student, connecting them to vital resources, mentorship, professional development, and a statewide community of colleagues. You can sponsor one student for $60, support multiple students, or give any amount, every contribution makes a meaningful impact.

Student membership applications for the next scholarship cycle open in January 2026. Your Giving Tuesday contribution helps us thoughtfully invest in students and strengthen the future of the profession.

The Department of Education is advancing changes that would classify social work as a non-professional degree, lowering loan limits for MSW and DSW students and restricting access to necessary funding. These changes are part of the ongoing rulemaking tied to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which ended Grad PLUS loans and now ties loan access to whether a degree is deemed “professional.” Proposed rules are expected in 2026. Take action to push back. Social workers deserve to be recognized as the professionals we are. Sign the petition. https://www.socialworkers.org/Advocacy/Action-Center
