Hey, I'm interested in global health and I heard that WHO offers scholarships for international students. Does anyone have details on this? I'm trying to work out if this could help fund my studies in public health or a related field.
While the World Health Organization (WHO) is actively involved in health and medical field research and publications, as well as policy and advisory roles, it does not typically offer scholarships for international students pursuing public health or related studies.
However, that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to fund your studies. You should look at scholarships offered by the specific university or program you're interested in. Many universities have scholarships for international students, including those entering public health fields. Further, there are plenty of other organizations and foundations focused on global health that might have scholarship programs, such as the Global Health Council or the American Public Health Association.
You can use resources like Appily to help find specific scholarships that you might be eligible for given your specific circumstance as an international student interested in public health. Then, you can start planning out how to put together a stack of scholarships and grants to pay for your studies.
In general, the key to securing scholarships is to start early, apply widely, and tailor your application to the specific requirements and goals of each scholarship. Don't get discouraged, and remember, every bit of funding helps!
