MAHEC Scholarship

As a partner in delivering this innovative Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in Western North Carolina, MAHEC is excited to offer a competitive scholarship of up to $10,000 to a limited number of students in each cohort. To be eligible for consideration, applicants must have:

  • An offer of admission from the UNC Asheville-UNC Gillings MPH Program.
  • A personal connection to Western North Carolina, which can include residency, family, or a desire to work and live in this region.
  • A completed scholarship application.

UNC Gillings School Financial Aid

The UNC Gillings Awards, Funding, and Financial Aid office provides students with a variety of resources to assist in funding their education. Students in the UNC Asheville-UNC Gillings MPH Program have regularly received departmental awards and scholarships. You can learn more about these opportunities on the Gillings School website.

Short-Term Funded Opportunities

Students in the UNC Asheville-UNC Gillings MPH Program may be able to work with community partners on short-term funded projects involving research, public health practice, and related activities. These opportunities will be offered to students as they become available and will range in hours, pay, and type.

Rural Fellowship MPH

The Rural Fellowship at MAHEC presents a unique opportunity for clinicians to explore and practice rural healthcare while earning an MPH degree that focuses on promoting health equity in rural communities. MAHEC rural fellows receive continuing education and support to help them adjust to and meet the needs of their rural community. Preceptor training focuses on the development of rural leadership and public health skills.

MPH clinical fellows are provided with financial and educational support over two years as they build a long-term rural practice in WNC. Clinical experience is compensated and academic time is protected to ensure fellows can focus on MPH program requirements.

Rural fellowships are designed for physicians who have completed their medical or doctor of osteopathy degree and dentists who have completed their doctorate of dental surgery or doctorate of medicine in dentistry.

University of North Carolina Asheville and UNC Chapel Hill are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the MPH degree. The UNC Asheville-UNC Gillings MPH Program is an applicant for accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
