University of the Pacific has partnered with the Abbott Fund to combat the diabetes crisis in Stockton by establishing the Abbott Fund Scholars, which will pay 50% of tuition costs for Pacific MSW students. MSW students who are Abbott Fund Scholars will complete a sub-specialization in Diabetes Care and Management (DCM) within the healthcare specialization of the MSW program. This sub-specialization is designed for students interested in pursuing health social work careers focused on diabetes prevention, education and management in Stockton. Recipients of the scholarship must reside in Stockton and must be willing to commit to working in Stockton for two years after graduation. The deadline for applying for the fall has been extended to July 15. For details and application instructions, go to: go.pacific.edu/socialwork

The Master of Social Work will prepare students to focus in healthcare areas such as mental health and aging.
