Scholarship Opportunities
Harvard Chan Grant/Scholarships
The Office of Financial Aid is committed to assisting students meet the cost of a Harvard Chan School education. However, the School has limited grant/scholarships and cannot fully meet each student’s financial need.
The majority of grant/scholarship support for Harvard Chan degree students is determined through one Harvard Chan Grant/Scholarship Application Process, and by completing this process by the deadline of January 8th, you will be considered for the following opportunities:
Academic departments and programs review the information provided through the Harvard Chan Grant/Scholarship Application Process to determine these awards. The President’s Office funds this program to enable talented and financially-needy graduate/professional students interested in public service careers the ability to attend Harvard. The Harvard Chan School will use this to recruit and retain the highest quality masters students, especially under-served domestic populations and students from developing countries. DrPH students: An agreement between the Harvard Chan School, CONACYT, and Fundación México en Harvard provides funding for Mexican students enrolling in the DrPH program. Scholarship support will cover 100% of the cost of this three-year program. The agreement allows up to seven students from Mexico to be fully supported under the terms of this agreement. Students who have been admitted will be notified of the details and requirements to finalize their funding. They will also be required to return and work/live in Mexico after graduation or a period of up to two years of practical training abroad. (Please note: Should the student choose not to return, all support received from the Fundación is to be reimbursed fully. Also, if the student received CONACYT funding prior to the DrPH program, they must have complied with the requirement of that prior funding to return and work/live in Mexico in order to receive those sources of funding for the DrPH program.) Masters students: More information on the options for Master’s Students can be found at this link. These opportunities require separate applications. CGS manages scholarships that have specific restrictions. Students who complete the Harvard Chan application process will be considered for nomination and do not need to notify us of their eligibility.
