Scholarship

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to get a scholarship to study a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Community and Behavioral Health at the Colorado School of Public Health, even as an international student from Tanzania.

🎓 Types of Scholarships and Funding You Can Get:

1. Merit-Based Scholarships
   When you apply for the MPH program, you may automatically be considered for scholarships based on your academic performance and experience. These are often awarded to top applicants.

2. Diversity Scholarships
   There are scholarships that support students from underrepresented backgrounds, including international students. These focus on promoting equity and inclusion in public health.

3. Graduate Assistantships
   Some students receive assistantships where they work on research or administrative tasks part-time in exchange for a stipend and tuition support. These are competitive and may require a separate application or departmental nomination.

4. Global Health Scholarships
   If your studies or future goals are focused on global or international health, there may be additional funding to support your education or related research projects.

5. External Scholarships
   You can also apply to international scholarship programs, such as those from governments or global foundations. These often cover full tuition, living expenses, and travel.

⏳ How Long Does It Take to Get the Scholarship?

• Application Process: The full MPH application (with scholarship consideration) usually takes a few months to complete, including gathering transcripts, letters of recommendation, and personal statements.
• Scholarship Results: After you submit your application, it may take 1–4 months to hear back about admission and scholarships.
• Total Time: From preparing your application to getting a scholarship decision can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months.
