The program provides early immersion in public health, giving students the opportunity to explore different options available in the field, and connecting them with mentors for academic and career advising.<\/p>\n<h3>BUSPH Select Scholars receive:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scholarships<\/strong> \u2013 For the 2025\/2026 application cycle, Select Scholars who apply by their <strong>priority deadline of December 15<\/strong> will receive a <strong>scholarship to support 50% of their graduate tuition<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Early notification<\/strong> \u2013 Seniors at Select Scholars schools can apply as early as mid-August to be admitted into the Select Scholars program.
