"There are very few scholarships like the Public Health Community Scholarship out there, that provide up to $2500.00. As a graduate of a Public Health school, I wish I would have had opportunities like this scholarship to supplement my tuition and fees during my MPH. I would encourage any Public Health student out there that qualifies for this scholarship to submit their applications and promote this scholarship to interested applicants. "-Rafael Veraza, MPH Graduate of Emory University
"The most valuable part of this scholarship: The Essay question. Alright, the money's nice, and this scholarship on your resume holds a lot of weight in the Public Health Job Market. But there's nothing more valuable than insights into your own career goals and passions. If you're serious about Public Health, answer the question. If you're serious about your future, apply for this scholarship."-Kate Swartz, MPH Graduate of University of Southern California, Founder of Street Fighters of Public Health
