“The Boonshoft School of Medicine Public Health Workforce Scholarship has been a tremendous benefit. This scholarship's impact is not solely financial but has also benefited my career. Because of my education, I was able to change fields and received a promotion to become an epidemiologist."

The scholarships offered through the department and University as a whole have helped keep tuition affordable!”
