Schierling Foundation for Excellence in Global Social Work Education & International Field Experience

The purpose of the Schierling Foundation, (Toni Schierling, a former member of the Board of Trustees of Marywood University, and her husband, Hans Schierling), is to enable MSW students to understand global interconnectedness as a central aspect of their work and have an appreciation of the international perspective, an understanding of global events and influences, and a sense of how global and local events affect populations and culture through an international field education. The Schierling Foundation will sponsor international airfare and four weeks of room and board for MSW students and an MSW faculty member as well as expenses for their presentation at international/global conferences.
