The Public Health Undergraduate Scholars Program (PHUSP) is an eight-week residential program designed to encourage college students to consider careers in public health. The program focuses on health equity, environmental justice, climate and health, and maternal and child health. It will be held at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Public Health from June 10 to August 2, 2024.
PHUSP offers internship placements, classroom instruction, group activities and mentorship. Scholars will also participate in a 2.5-day research poster showcase at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Scholars will receive a $3,200 stipend, round-trip transportation to Pittsburgh and financial support for meals. The cost of on-campus housing and travel to Atlanta for the research showcase is covered by PHUSP.
Applications are currently being accepted and are due by January 31, 2024. PHUSP is funded by the CDC through the John R. Lewis Undergraduate Public Health Scholars Program.
