We are pleased to announce that all Executive MPH students who do not receive full tuition funding from an external source will receive a $10,000 scholarship applied per-credit over the two years of the program.

Other YSPH Scholarships- selected recipients will be notified by April 1.

• All EMPH students from Mexico will automatically be considered for the Overlook International Foundation Scholarship. This highly competitive scholarship supports one student each year who plans to continue positively impacting Public Health and Policy in Mexico. The recipient will receive an additional $30,000 towards the cost of the EMPH program.
• If you’ve applied for the Health Informatics track, you will automatically be considered for the $28,000 Gliklich Merit Scholarship. The Gliklich Scholarship will be awarded based on a holistic review of merit to one new EMPH student in the Health Informatics track.
  

There are three onsite intensives throughout the program. The cost of an in residence week will vary based on travel from your home and your New Haven accommodations. But in general for each Onsite Intensive you should budget for travel to and from New Haven, five nights of lodging, and five dinners. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. If you require local accommodations, the estimated cost for one intensive week is $1549.

• Eligible joint degree programs allow students who will obtain multiple degrees the option to pursue those degrees concurrently rather than doing the programs in succession. Because you reduce each degree (typically by one academic term), you graduate sooner and pay less in tuition and living expenses than you would by pursuing the degrees in succession. As a result in most cases you would only be billed three terms of YSPH tuition, and eligible for three terms of scholarship (if you are awarded a scholarship from YSPH).
• Students must apply separately to admissions and financial aid for each school. Financial aid processes, awards and policies are school specific. Once admitted, all charges are run through a centralized Yale billing System called YalePay.

BA/BS- in this five year joint degree program students combine their final Yale College year with their first year at YSPH. During that combined year, students will be eligible for financial aid through Yale College, with no additional tuition or fees assessed by YSPH. In their final year, students will be billed YSPH tuition and fees, and all financial aid will occur through YSPH. The School cannot guarantee that the financial aid award in the fifth year will be equivalent to previous awards.

The tuition for the Accelerated MPH/MBA program is based on the SOM rate (rather than the YSPH rate) due to the abbreviated nature of the program. All payments are made through the centralized Yale billing system while in both schools, but financial aid is separate by school.

Students in the MS program file their applications and financial aid materials through the Graduate School. More information about costs and financial aid for the MS program can be found on the GSAS website.

MS students are allowed to serve as Teaching Fellows or Research Assistants. Teaching Fellowships are generally available to MS students in the 2-year program in Public Health during their second year after they have taken classes and become familiar with the Public Health coursework. However, it is also possible to obtain a Teaching Fellowship in a department outside of Public Health. Many first year MS students have found Teaching Fellowships in within Yale College in languages, math, statistics or science departments.

Research Assistant positions are also available on a part time basis. Faculty in Public Health are generally familiar with various research projects that are in need of a research assistant. We suggest you begin your search for a research assistant position by asking your faculty advisor for suggestions. There are also many positions posted on the Student Employment website.

All PhD students are guaranteed five years of 12-month stipend and tuition support in the form of YSPH fellowships, teaching fellowships, traineeships and research assistantships. In addition to support for tuition and living costs, students receive a health award to covers the full cost of single-student Yale Health Plan Hospitalization/Specialty Coverage.

PhD applicants are not required to secure a faculty mentor prior to applying to the program.

We expect applicants to provide information in their personal statement about the research they hope to conduct if admitted and to state the faculty in our department whose research aligns with their interests.

The PhD program in Public Health enhances commitment its PhD students who identify as underrepresented minority students, first-generation college graduates and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds by offering research awards to the top candidates admitted to the program. Each year a minimum of two PhD admitted students will be offered $2,000 each for research funds in addition to their financial aid package. Recipients have up to 2 years to spend these funds, which can be used for books, computers, software, conference travel, research travel or research supplies.

This funding is offered upon acceptance into the program. The criteria for the award is:

• Previous involvement in diversity-related initiatives in their community and/or volunteer activities helping underserved populations.
• Research interest in serving an underserved population

If a portion of your term's tuition and fees will be paid out of pocket (rather than covered with financial aid such as scholarships or loans), then you may divide term fees into 5 monthly payments through the Yale Payment Plan.
