The Humanitarian Health Scholarship provides US$10,000 toward tuition, paid out over the length of the program.

The OPAL Scholarship is awarded to all students enrolled in an OPAL MAS or Certificate program. It is worth US$460 per credit. This award applies to tuition costs only and is disbursed incrementally for each credit taken toward required coursework.

To apply for the Humanitarian Health Scholarship, you must be a citizen and resident of a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) as defined by the World Bank. If you are temporarily living in a high-income country, you may still be considered, but you should contact the University for more information. You must be able to speak, read, and understand English fluently and to take an active part in a fast-paced English-only academic program. You need at least a Bachelor’s degree with a strong record of academic success. You must also have more than 2 years of professional experience in humanitarian health emergencies or disasters, and you must plan to continue working in these settings after you finish the degree. Humanitarian health emergencies and disasters cover a wide range of situations, including conflicts, natural disasters, infectious disease outbreaks, and mixed migration in low- and middle-income countries.

Applicants from the US and other high-income countries are not eligible for the Humanitarian Health Scholarship for this program.

Applications are currently closed.

To be considered for the scholarships for the MAS Humanitarian Health program, you must apply for admission to the course by 15 May 2020 and complete your application by 1 July 2020. The course begins in Fall each year.
