Scholarships FAQ
What are the requirements after receiving a CFHI scholarship?
Scholarship recipients are sent a full description of their requirements via email upon being offered a CFHI scholarship. For those doing in-country programs, scholarship recipients must keep a blog during their program to document their experiences abroad. Recipients must share photos from their trip, which may be featured on the CFHI website and publications. For virtual participants, scholarship recipients will share with us their final project (or a summary of their work and outcomes), which may also be shared CFHI’s website and publications.
The goal is that scholarship recipients will be ambassadors for CFHI, helping out during webinars for prospective students or representing CFHI by tabling at global health events for students at their school or in their community.
What costs are CFHI scholarship receipents responsible for?
All scholarship recipients are responsible for their own airfare and daily living expenses, along with the balance of the program fee.
Are there any external sholarship opportunities that CFHI recommends?
Are you Pell Grant eligible? You may qualify for a grant of up to $5,000 for an international internship: https://www.gilmanscholarship.
