Financial Aid & Scholarships

PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS

In order to be considered for a scholarship, applications must be complete and submitted by the final deadline.

The Illinois MPH Program provides scholarships 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. Students who are offered a scholarship will be notified within 2-4 weeks of the stated deadline.

FINANCIAL AID & OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS

Like many professional degree programs, the MPH program is self-supporting and does not offer or accept tuition waivers. This means our students are not eligible for tuition waiver-based teaching or research assistantships.

However, there are many 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 for MPH Students
  • Graduate hourly positions offered on-campus (e.g. graders, research) that are willing to support an hourly position instead of providing a waiver 
  • Paid internships during the summer Applied Practice Experience (internship)
  • Off-campus employment
  • Financial Aid
