scholarships for MPH degrees

[Annemarie ter Veen]

It's that time of year for those of you who are thinking of doing an MPH to apply for scholarships. Here are a few:

The Aga Khan Foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies...[more<http://www.fundsforngos.org/united-states/aga-khan-international-scholarships-meritorious-students/>]

The Royal Tropical Institute in the Netherlands is linked with the NFP programme (run through the Dutch Embassies) for its MPH scholarships. The application process for both admission to the MPH programme as well as for the scholarship are entirely online. The deadline for scholarship aplications is the 1st of February

The World Bank Joint Japan scholarship will be accepting applications until March 31st.The list of preferred universities is a bit wonky: LSHTM can be found under the University of London. The Royal Tropical Institute and Liverpool are not on the list, but these schools can be applied to and scholarships will be granted for these MPH programmes.

Agha Khan University in Karachi also offers scholarships. The programmes are described here, and Dr Islam from APHI usually posts the scholarship information. http://www.aku.edu/admissions/graduate/medicine/pakistan/pages/pakistan.aspx

I regrettably have no information on the Fulbright programmes or any other scholarship programmes, but those of you who do, please don't hesitate to post information on this mailing list.

Good luck to all
