Student Scholarships

Our History

Student scholarships are given out each year by all four sections of CASCWA. Visit each section pages to learn more about the rich history of these scholarship programs. Each year, over $10,000 is given out statewide. For scholarship eligibility, refer to the regional map below.

The California Association of Supervisors Child Welfare and Attendance (CASCWA) was established in 1936 to promote the work of Child Welfare and Attendance/Student Services, and to raise the professional level of workers in this field throughout the State of California, by:
Providing a means for the dissemination of innovative, creative, and constructive ideas concerning the development of youth in relation to their school, home and community; including the periodic publication and distribution of a Statewide Newsletter, known as the Intercom.
Maintaining high standards for the training and certification of Supervisors of Child Welfare and Attendance.
Encouraging programs for guidance and counseling of the in-school and out-of-school youth until they have reached a period of adjustment.
Advocating and assisting in the development and maintenance of adequate records of the school, community, and home life of youth.
Influencing relevant legislation for the needs of youth, families, and schools
