Betty J. Ruth and Ken Schulman Scholarship

Gifts to the Betty J. Ruth and Ken S. Schulman Endowed Scholarship provide scholarship support for students with demonstrated financial need who are enrolled in the master’s degree program at the School of Social Work.

This endowed scholarship was established to honor Betty Ruth (SSW’84, SPH’85) and Ken Schulman for their decades of service to BUSSW. Ruth, a clinical professor at SSW, has been director of BU’s dual degree Program in Social Work and Public Health since 1987. Schulman, who joined the SSW faculty in 1979, has served in administrative positions at the school since 1986 and became associate dean for Enrollment Services & Alumni Relations in 1992. Given their important roles the pair has become a touchstone for the BU social work community as a whole. In keeping with their dedication to our students and desire to make a MSW degree accessible to all we welcome you to support this endowed fund.
