Moving Forward Fund

About the Fund

Building on an idea proposed by Shamire Juste, MSW ’19, the Silver Moving Forward Fund was created in Spring 2020 to provide small grants up to $300 to BS and MSW graduates who are struggling with many of the additional costs associated with graduation and accessing critical credentialing. 

Thanks to your generosity, in academic year 2020-21 NYU Silver was able to provide ALL of our applicants for the Moving Forward Fund with financial support tied to graduation regalia and social work licensure!

Student Impact

Sergio Torres“As a proud recipient of the Moving Forward Fund, I’m so grateful for the financial support. By relieving me of the licensing fees, I’m able to strive towards earning a credential that is highly regarded in the social work field, thus opening the door to more opportunities in the future.”

Supporting the Fund is an investment in social work, and we ask recipients to “pay-it-forward” by contributing back into the Fund when they are able. Help us sustain the Fund for the future #NYUSilverGrads!
