MPH Scholarship Support
We know how important scholarship support can be in making graduate school a possibility. The Brown School offers a range of scholarships to assist students with funding their degree. Brown School scholarships include a combination of merit and need-based awards that recognize the variety of strengths, experiences, endeavors, and personal histories our students offer. The admissions committee considers several factors in determining scholarship awards: financial need, academic achievement, leadership and service, professional accomplishments, contributions to family and community, and commitment to equity and advancing public health through social justice.
Select scholarships are also available to students in partnership with a number of service corps programs—including Peace Corps, Teach For America, City Year, the Coro Fellows Program, and others.
Applicants interested in Brown School scholarship support must complete the Brown School Scholarship Consideration form, which can be found in the Washington University Graduate Admissions Portal once an applicant has submitted their SOPHAS application. Most Brown School awards are partial-tuition scholarships, with a limited number of full-tuition scholarships available each year.
To receive priority consideration for admission and scholarship awards, please apply for admission by one of our priority deadlines: December 1 for early review or March 1 for priority review. After these deadlines, scholarships will be awarded based on the availability of funds. Deadlines are the same for both U.S. and international applicants.
