SPH-wide student scholarships

The School of Public Health recognizes outstanding students via numerous scholarships for teaching, research, and academic achievements and potential. Awards are supported by generous contributions from donors who value the current and future contributions of School of Public Health students. A committee of faculty from each department considers all applications and recommends the recipients of each award to Dean Rimer, who makes the final selection decision.
