The Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund was established by the CSWE Board of Directors in recognition of Carl A. Scott’s contributions to CSWE and the social work profession.
Carl Anderson Scott joined the staff of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 1968 as a senior consultant on minority groups; he retired in 1985 as the associate executive director. Before coming to CSWE, he held practice and administrative positions in children and family service agencies, and was director of admissions and assistant professor at the New York University School of Social Work. He received a BA in psychology and a master’s in social work from Howard University.
The Carl A. Scott Memorial Fund was developed to continue the legacy of equity and social justice in social work through building knowledge and furthering the well being of individuals and their communities. These were the goals to which Carl Scott devoted his life's work.
