                  Pay It Forward
Through the NASW-VT Gilman Scholarship


Did you receive financial support while you were studying to become a professional social worker? Now you can “pay it forward” by making a tax-deductible contribution to the NASW-VT Gilman Scholarship.

Here’s how:
· Write a check made payable to Vermont Scholarship Fund – NASW-VT Gilman Scholarship (the check must be made out this way to be tax-deductible)
· Mail the check to NASW-VT at P.O. Box 1348, Montpelier, VT 05601-1348.
· If you are making a contribution in honor of someone, please indicate the name of the person and reason you are honoring her/him.

The scholarship was established in 2002 to honor former Executive Director Michael Gilman. Each year the Chapter contributes $1000 to provide two $500 scholarships to individuals enrolled in accredited social work programs. The Gilman Scholarship is administered by the Vermont Scholarship Fund, a 501©(3) affiliate of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC).

In fiscal year 2009 our goal is to raise 50% of the annual scholarship fund, or $500, through individual tax-deductible contributions.
