Child Family Health International Scholarship

Child Family Health International (CFHI) offers partial scholarships for use towards CFHI program fees. Scholarships are currently available for the following program months only: Fall 2010- September, October, November, December 2010. Recipients of scholarships are responsible for the remaining balance of CFHI program fees. All recipients are responsible for their own airfare.
CFHI is committed to working globally and addressing inequities. In line with this global lens, it is the policy of CFHI to actively seek a diverse pool of candidates from a variety of backgrounds who are committed to the mission and vision of CFHI. Scholarships will be given to students who demonstrate a commitment to their communities as well as financial need and an interest in exchanging ideas and sharing experiences with people in Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Mexico and South Africa. Priority will be given to people of ethnicities under-represented in CFHI programs, as well as those who have had limited opportunity to travel abroad. All interested in attending a CFHI program during Fall 2010 and who are financially able to pay the remaining program fees (~US$1500) along with their own airfare are encouraged to apply. The deadline for submitting the CFHI Fall 2010 Scholarship application is August 2, 2010.

CFHI is happy to announce it will be offering 7 partial scholarships for fall 2010 programs. Seven (7) partial scholarships in the amount of US $500 may be awarded towards participation in any CFHI global health education program during the above program months.






Recipients may also be required to write an article about their experience for CFHI newsletters or other publications. They must also be willing to report their perspective on diversity in the host country with particular focus in medical and social contexts. CFHI will ask recipients to act as Campus Representatives or Alumni Ambassadors for prospective CFHI participants, and may be asked to attend study abroad fairs in their local area.
Recipients of CFHI scholarships will be required to pay their own airfare, the balance of their CFHI program fees, and any personal expenses as outlined on the program description pages. Recipients must keep a clinical and cultural immersion journal to be used as part of their scholarship report submitted at the end of their program.
