Grants and Scholarships
Grants are need-based awards that are awarded in the Financial Aid Office based on the information on the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) Financial Aid Application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
If you applied for a need-based grant for the 2007-2008 academic year and submitted parental information, you do not need to submit the information for 2008-2009 academic year.
The following scholarships are awarded by the Admissions Committee, and no separate application is required:
Dean’s Scholarship
Each year the Admissions Committee selects five outstanding students as Dean’s Scholars. This merit based award covers half-tuition for the two years of the program, subject to satisfactory academic progress.
Opportunity Scholarships
Awarded by the Admissions Committee, the Public Health Opportunity Scholarships are awarded to incoming YSPH students who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States on the basis of a number of factors including financial need, a demonstrated interest in public health, outstanding ability, and high motivation for professional achievement. Preference may be given to applicants that have come from socially or economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Five awards are made to each incoming class. The full-tuition awards if for two consecutive years of the program, subject to satisfactory academic progress.
Creed/Patton/Steele Endowed Scholarship
Recognizing the importance of diversity in graduate and professional education, the Creed/Patton/Steele Scholarship was established to serve as a visible and lasting tribute to these three men and their efforts as well as the enduring contributions made by all underrepresented minorities to the field of public health. Scholarship candidates must show an interest or experience in issues related to health disparities, service to vulnerable populations, and/or community health. They must also demonstrate outstanding potential for contribution to public health and social justice.
Overlook International Foundation Scholarship Fund
The Overlook International Foundation Scholarship recognizes the importance of educating students from Latin America in health care management and policy. One or more scholarships will be awarded each year to support students from Latin America with the hope that they will return to their home countries and improve health care delivery and policy. Funds are also used to support current students doing summer internships in Latin America.
