In celebration of 20 years of public health education at Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt MPH Program announces its first endowed scholarship. The scholarship will directly benefit Master of Public Health students through support for tuition, practicum, and thesis expenses. It will allow the most talented graduate students to choose Vanderbilt for their public health training, and it will give them the necessary resources to do their best work. When you Give for the Gold this year, support the Vanderbilt MPH Program and the next generation of public health leaders.
