Application Deadline: June 21, 2026
If you’re a woman pursuing a career in public health in the United States, this opportunity could ease part of your academic journey. The Sisters in Public Health Scholarship 2026 offers financial support to students across undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels, helping you stay focused on your studies and long-term impact in the health sector.
The Sisters in Public Health initiative awards three separate scholarships each year, recognizing women who are actively building careers in public health. Whether you’re just past your first year in a bachelor’s program or advancing through graduate or doctoral studies, there’s a category designed to support your level.
The three awards include:
- Bourda Scholarship for undergraduate students
- Frazier Fund for master’s students
- Lockett Award for doctoral candidates
Each scholarship is valued at $1,000, and while the amount may seem modest, it can make a meaningful difference, covering books, research costs, or everyday academic expenses. More importantly, being selected places you within a network of women committed to public health leadership.
The timeline is clearly structured. Applications opened on March 2, 2026, and selected candidates will be notified by July 20, with final acceptance required by July 27. Awards are officially announced and distributed in early August.
