The Arturo Ricardo de Cordova Sanville Scholarship Fund

The Sanville Institute, now in its thirty-fifth year of providing advanced clinical education for master’s-level social workers and MFTs, is proud to announce the inception of the Arturo Ricardo de Cordova Sanville Scholarship Fund.  The purpose of the fund is to support the scholarly pursuits of students of Latino/a background who enter the Institute in either the two-year Psychotherapy Certificate Program or the full Doctoral Program, which leads to a PhD in Clinical Social Work. 

Sanville’s programs are designed for working mental health professionals who have a passion for clinical work in its various forms—psychotherapy, supervision/consultation, administration, teaching or writing.  Based in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory and neurobiology, relational theory, and systems and social theory, both the Certificate and Doctoral programs are designed to foster stimulating, self-paced learning that integrates a cultural and social justice perspective at all levels.  Educational experiences at Sanville take place in a variety of formats including seminars, mentor meetings, and individual clinical consultation.  

The Institute has been moving toward development of this scholarship opportunity over the past several years.  It is one of several new initiatives by Sanville, including the student and faculty exchange program as part of our collaboration with the Smith College School for Social Work. The Institute’s offerings are available both in Los Angeles and Berkeley.  For more information contact the administrative office at admin@sanville.edu or phone 510.848.8420 in the Bay Area, 310.674.8420 in the south, toll free 1.866.848.8430.

LINDA WATERS RECIPIENT OF THE 2007 JULES LEVINE MEMORIAL AWARD
The award was presented by the USC School of Social Work's Field Education Department in recognition of excellence in field instruction.

"Waters worked with the School of Social Work as a consultant on the establishment of the Inter-University Consortium program, an alliance among the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the four social work schools in Los Angeles County. In this role, she worked with students placed in DCFS internships in best practice models with child welfare clients. Waters then went on to work at Five Acres, a child and family services agency, where she field-instructs students from the School of Social Work every year.

"She has demonstrated the ability to work creatively and effectively with a wide variety of students, always teaching them not only wonderful practice skills, but modeling for them the very best in values and ethics of the social work profession." (Mary Gress, Assistant Dean of Field Education, quoted in an article by Maya Meinert, USC School of Social Work News & Events, May 27, 2007)
