The School of Public Health Scholarship Fund was established to support undergraduate and graduate students in the pursuit of exceptional educational opportunities. Examples of opportunities can include, but are not limited to, conferences, academic research, and experiential learning. The scholarship is designed to assist in covering expenditures incurred by the student directly related to the opportunity, but may not cover the full expense of the opportunity.

 

Undergraduate Applicant requirements:

 - Applicant must be a current School of Public Health major.  Priority is given to students with SPH as a primary major.

 - Applicant must have completed at least one semester at the University of Maryland in the School of Public Health.

 - Applicant must have at least one semester left as a student at the University of Maryland in the School of Public Health.

 - Applicant must have a sophomore standing or higher.

Undergraduate Additional Information:

 - Preference will be given for NEW, rather than continuing, experiences (i.e. starting a new internship, as opposed to continuing in a position from a previous semester or summer).

 - These funds are NOT designated for study abroad experiences. Visit the Education Abroad Scholarships page to learn more about study abroad funding.

 - Students may apply for funding for more than one experience per application cycle, but may only receive funding for one experience.

 - Applicants will be required to submit verification of the experience. If verification is not submitted funds must be refunded to SPH.

 - Funds may not be used for tuition.

 - Applicants must provide a projected itemized statement of how funds will be utilized.

 

Recipients will be recognized at the School of Public Health’s Convocation Ceremony in May.
