Hill-Urbina winner, Marjorie Larson, on the Public Health in Uganda Program, 2009

IPD programs are designed so that financial concerns do not restrict opportunities for international study.  Fellowship opportunities exist for Northwestern students to participate in IPD programs and to conduct their own independent research projects.  Funding opportunities are not limited to students with demonstrated financial need, as merit-based scholarships for program fees and well-crafted research projects also exist.  Please check our website frequently to receive up-to-date information about fellowship deadlines and new fellowship opportunities.
