UA Little Rock Graduate Student Phillip Hill Wins National Social Work Fellowship

Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · Education · GSM News

Phillip Hill, a Master of Social Work student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in Pulaski County, has been selected for the Council on Social Work Education's Minority Fellowship Program, the university announced Nov. 11. Hill is the first student in the university's social work master's program to receive the fellowship and one of only 40 fellows chosen nationwide this year after three rounds of review.

The program, funded by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, supports graduate social work students committed to serving underrepresented communities. Laura Danforth, director of the university's School of Social Work, praised Hill's record. Hill graduated from Benton High School, earned an associate degree at UA Pulaski Technical College and completed his bachelor's at UA Little Rock with summa cum laude honors.

He is set to present his research at the CSWE annual meeting in 2026 and the Society for Social Work and Research conference in 2027.
