Population & Family Health

Purpose

The Latino Fellowship Program is designed to increase the representation of public health professionals serving Latinos in the U.S. The Program is particularly interested in attracting early career professionals committed to addressing the health disparities confronted by a large and growing Latino population in the United States.

One to two fellowships are offered each year for students pursuing their Masters of Public Health (MPH) through the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health. For more information about the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health visit our academic programs overview.

Fellows receive full tuition up to the maximum of 45 credits required for the MPH degree. Appointed as Graduate Research Assistants in the department, fellows also receive monthly stipends in exchange for working 20 hours per week from September 1 through May 31. The 45-credit program is normally completed in two years.
