We are fortunate to have many students contact ASPIRE each semester, and we value spending focused time with each student placed with ASPIRE. Given the existing depth of student support, we are currently only accepting students who are able to offer at least one day a week and have Arabic language or research experience.
Summer graduate student placements are available, as well as 2nd year non-clinical MSW placements. MSW placements focus primarily on community engagement, marketing, and grant writing. MSW research opportunities are available for highly organized and analytically strong applicants.
