The Illinois MPH Program provides scholarships ranging from $1,000-$10,000 based on merit and/or need.  There is no separate scholarship application.  The application materials a student submits for admission are used to determine scholarship awards.

In order to be considered for a scholarship, applications must be submitted by the final deadline of March 1st.

Students who are offered a scholarship will be notified by early March.

Like many professional degree programs, the MPH program is self-supporting and does not offer or accept tuition waivers*. However, there are still opportunities for financial assistance which can include:

• Program-specific scholarships (see above)
• The Scholarship Finder document provides access to potential awards and scholarships that may be of interest (tailored towards students within the program). Click here to learn more
• Other scholarships
• Graduate hourly positions offered on-campus (e.g. graders, research) that are willing to support an hourly position instead of providing a waiver or stipend
• Paid internships during the summer Applied Practice Experience (internship)
• On-campus or off-campus employment
• Other Financial Aid (see the Office of Student Financial Aid)
