The Lynne Witkin Scholarship

offered by

Concerned Persons for Adoption

Lynne Witkin was a social worker, adoptive parent and volunteer advocate for adoption. She also served as president of Concerned Persons for Adoption (CPFA), the support group for those touched by adoption. Lynne recognized the need for an annual gathering of professionals and parents. In 1979 she pioneered the first "Let's Talk Adoption" Conference sponsored by CPFA. This well regarded conference continued after her passing, with the most recent one being held virtually in March 2022.

The intent of the Lynne Witkin scholarship is to benefit and encourage qualified social work majors interested in pursuing a career in the area of adoption/child welfare. There are currently over a half million children in the U.S. in foster care. More than 100,000 of these are awaiting adoptive parents. There is a critical need for caring, capable social workers to enter the field of child welfare - protective services, foster care, adoption, post-adoption services and the like, especially at this time in New Jersey.

To apply for the $1,000 Lynne Witkin scholarship offered by CPFA, visit www.cpfanj.org or click on the link below. Applications must be received by April 1, 2022. The scholarship winner will be announced May 1, 2022.
