MPH/MS Scholarship Opportunities

Two partial scholarships in each of the five program concentrations are awarded in the amount of $1,000 per semester for up to four semesters (total award: $4,000).

The scholarships will be awarded to new students enrolling for the first time in the fall of each new academic year or students who enrolled as a new student in the spring or summer term of the same year.

The scholarship amount may be adjusted to a higher or lower level based upon demand and funding availability. Additionally, the number of scholarships allotted per program may also be reduced based upon demand and funding availability.
