The Mitch Greenlick Public Health Scholarship is awarded to MPH students who are committed to serving the health of under-represented minority communities or who show significant potential for contributing to public health science.
Public Service Scholarship Program:
The Public Employees Roundtable Public Service Scholarship
Program was started in 1986 to encourage the best and brightest
college students to pursue careers in public service by offering
merit-based scholarships. Scholarships are awarded to graduate and
undergraduate students.
Qualified applicants must have a 3.5 grade point average
in all college work completed to date. Students are required to
have completed at least one year of college. In addition to submitting
transcripts, applicants must write a two-page essay. Applicants
are expected to identify his or her specific career goal and discuss
his or her vision for the future. Preference is given to students
with prior public service or volunteer experience.
To be selected as a scholarship recipient, the applicants
must survive a rigorous review process. After grade point averages
are verified, copies of their essays are sent to members of the
editorial board of The Public Manager who review and rank the essays.
Application packages are then forwarded to the members of the scholarship
committee for review and ranking. Once the field is narrowed, the
committee meets in formal session
to select the final winners; seeking a balance of men and women,
of ethnic representation and geographic distribution.
Application Deadline is in May
The winners will be honored at the annual Public Service
Awards Reception in late July.
