Connecting Schools of Social Work With Motivated, Prepared Applicants

Each year, thousands of prospective students search for guidance as they prepare to apply to Master of Social Work programs.

MSW Helper supports these applicants through educational resources, application strategy, and personal statement guidance.

Our goal is simple: to help students submit thoughtful, well-prepared applications while helping programs connect with high-intent applicants who are committed to graduate school.

We are always excited to collaborate with schools that want to reach prospective students and share information about their programs.

  • MSW Helper is a specialized platform focused on supporting students who are preparing to apply to MSW programs.

    Through our website, webinars, and advising services, we connect with a large community of prospective applicants each year.

    Our audience includes:

    • Students applying to MSW programs across Canada and the United States

    • Career changers transitioning into social work

    • Applicants preparing for their first graduate school application

    • Reapplicants working to strengthen their applications

    Each year we support approximately 1,000 applicants directly through personal statement feedback, advising sessions, and educational resources.

    Many more students engage with our blog posts, application guides, and webinars as they research MSW programs and prepare their applications.

  • Applying to graduate school can be overwhelming, and many applicants struggle to translate their experiences into a clear and reflective personal statement.

    MSW Helper provides educational resources designed to help applicants:

    • reflect on their experiences in the context of social work values

    • approach application prompts thoughtfully

    • clearly communicate their motivations for entering the field

    • strengthen the clarity and organization of their writing

    Our goal is to help applicants better articulate their own experiences, goals, and perspectives as future social workers. We do not write personal statements on behalf of students.

Opportunities for Universities:

We collaborate with schools in several ways depending on the goals of the program.

Potential collaborations include:

Program Spotlights

We highlight MSW programs through blog posts, informational resources, or webinars so prospective applicants can learn more about available options.

Information Sessions

We host webinars or informational sessions where prospective applicants can learn more about specific programs directly from faculty or admissions staff.

Applicant Education

We collaborate with programs to share information about application requirements, program structures, and admissions expectations.

Strategic Partnerships

Some programs choose to partner with MSW Helper to increase awareness of their programs among prospective applicants preparing to apply.

Why Schools Partner With MSW Helper:

MSW Helper connects programs with applicants who are actively preparing to apply to graduate school in social work.

Because we work with students before they submit applications, many applicants use MSW Helper to better understand the expectations of graduate-level social work programs and reflect on their motivations for entering the field.

For schools, this provides opportunities to:

  • increase visibility among prospective applicants

  • connect with students actively preparing to apply to MSW programs

  • share program information with a niche audience interested in social work education
