Carruth J. Wagner MD Foundation Scholarship Awards for Internships in Public Health

This scholarship benefits a College of Public Health and Social Justice MPH graduate student in good academic standing (GPA of at least 3.0 is required) who must complete an internship as part of their academic curriculum and who is not paid by the organization. The MPH Applied Practice Experience agreement must be signed and approved by the internship instructor and preceptor to be eligible. The internship must be completed in community-based setting. Or, if working with a University-affiliated setting, the work must be primarily focused on community engagement, typically with external partners. The internship should allow students the opportunity to address a critical public health issue in the community and should not be primarily administrative or research in nature. Only students beginning their internship in Summer 2024 are eligible to apply. Financial need may be considered. Funds will be distributed in Summer 2024.
Students receiving funding from the Maternal and Child Health Center of Excellence will not be eligible to receive this scholarship.
