The KU-MPH Diversity and Leadership Scholarships

The KU MPH Program offers two scholarships for its current and continuing students to be used for the upcoming semesters: the Diversity Scholarship and the Leadership Scholarship. Students may apply for one or both of the scholarships but are eligible for only one MPH scholarship at a time.

Upon receipt of the award, students must demonstrate academic success by achieving grades of B or better in the first semester in order to receive the remaining scholarship funds in the second semester. Students may not receive the same scholarship two consecutive years in a row.  Late applications will not be accepted.
