This is Cordelia’s fifth Susan Fund scholarship. She is working to obtain her MSW degree. Her letter of recommendation described Cordelia’s strong commitment to breaking cultural barriers, reducing the stigma of mental illness and providing support for people living with addiction. In her application, Cordelia wrote, “The poverty barriers for this population are not having adequate insurance and lack of affordable or free community-based supportive referral sources. Having an MSW would give me the opportunity to advocate for this population and to fight for social justice.”
