We value the unique community service perspectives and experience AmeriCorps alumni bring to public health. In recognition of AmeriCorps service we are offering up to four eligible AmeriCorps alumni a one-time fellowship of $1000 to applicants admitted to one of our Master of Public Health (MPH) programs.
