Funding Available for Students in the ERHD Program

Now that we have our budget for the year, the ERHD Program can fund 5 (full-time or part-time) students who enroll into the program. We have allocated funds for each student. Students can use the funding to pay for an ERHD class and/or expenses related directly to their ERHD course.

In order to receive funding, students must apply to the program and submit their materials to the Admissions committee as soon as possible if you want to be eligible to receive funding for taking a ERHD course in the fall 09. However, if you are planning to take an ERHD course in the Spring 2010, please submit your materials by October 1st, 2009 to be considered for available funding for the spring 2010 semester.

Remember, we only have funding for five students in the program at this time. We hope to receive additional funds to support more students taking our innovative Ethnic & Rural Health Disparities Graduate Certificate Online Program in the near future.
