Daemen University has developed a partnership with United Way of Buffalo & Erie County (UWBEC) to provide a generous scholarship to United Way employees and affiliate members.

The scholarship program enables candidates to pursue a Master of Science in Leadership and Innovation or a Master of Social Work, as well as an Advanced Certificate in Leadership and Innovation, at a lower tuition rate.

“We are proud to have developed a partnership with United Way of Buffalo & Erie County to offer a substantial scholarship to its affiliates to earn select advanced degrees,” said Dr. Lisa Rafalson, Founding Dean, College of Health, Human Sciences, and Business at Daemen. “These graduate programs offer flexible scheduling and formats that appeal to adult learners. In addition, Daemen University has committed to providing professional development education opportunities for UWBEC.” 

“At United Way, we are focused on bringing people and resources together,” said Trina Burruss, President and CEO of United Way of Buffalo & Erie County. “As a Daemen University alum, I’m especially proud to partner with my alma mater to help individuals at our affiliated nonprofits achieve their educational goals.”

Daemen offers additional graduate and undergraduate programs in the College of Health, Human Sciences, and Business.
