This program exists to establish or strengthen field placements for students at health agencies or organizations, to address health disparities and improve health equity. NWCPHP hopes these stipends will help students enhance public health services to rural and/or medically underserved communities to better address issues related to the social determinants of health.
Approximately twenty-one students will be awarded up to $3,500 each for public health projects conducted in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Funds will be distributed directly to students and are intended to help them defray living expenses during their hands-on learning experience.
