Graduate College Scholarships
The University of Arizona Graduate College allots the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health a limited amount of scholarship and fellowship funding each academic year. The recipients of this funding are chosen by the College's Admissions Committees and concentration area directors, based on the student's past academic performance and need.
Applications for the Graduate Tuition and Fellowship awards are available in the Zuckerman College of Public Health Office of Student Services and Academic Affairs. Applications for the Graduate Minority Tuition
Scholarship are made through the Graduate College.
Graduate College Tuition Scholarship
Based on both financial need and academic merit, the College awards Graduate Tuition Scholarships that can be used to pay out-of-state tuition and/or the costs of registration fees. Awards vary in amount. Students must have established and maintain at least a 3.0 CUM GPA to be eligible and retain their awards.
Graduate College Fellowship
The College awards Graduate Fellowships to its students, based on both financial need and academic merit. Graduate Fellowships are cash awards that can be applied to tuition, health insurance or any other academic expense, the balance of which is paid directly to the student. Awardees must establish and maintain at least a 3.0 CUM GPA; and be enrolled in six graduate units per semester to be eligible to retain their award.
Graduate Minority Tuition Scholarship
The Graduate College awards Graduate Minority Tuition Scholarships to students in targeted ethnic minority groups - Black, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, or Asian/Pacific Islander who are not residents of Arizona. Awardees must have a 3.00 cumulative GPA. The College must send a letter of recommendation on behalf of the student to the Graduate College Minority Student Affairs Program.
Research Assistantships
Research Assistantships are oftentimes available through the research grants of MEZCOPH faculty members or from other departments on the University campus. The Office of Student Services and Academic Affairs posts all opportunities of which it is notified on the College website and posts a hard copy of the position in the office. In general, these positions are awarded based on a competitive application that exhibits excellence in academic
and/or professional endeavors and a strong indication that the candidate has the talents or abilities that the assistantship requires. In addition to a stipend, these assistantships typically provide the recipient with a waiver of out-of-state tuition, partial remission of the registration fee (in-state tuition), and student health insurance. Students apply for these positions directly to the faculty member who is seeking a graduate assistant.
Teaching Assistant and Instructional Aide Positions
A number of Zuckerman College of Public Health courses utilize teaching assistants who serve mentoring, instruction related, and administrative roles working with the course instructor(s) in the classroom. In addition to a stipend, these assistantships typically provide the recipient with a waiver of out-of-state tuition, partial remission of the registration fee (in-state tuition), and student health insurance. In some cases students are hired as instructional student aides rather than assistants. These positions usually are available to graduate students who have successfully completed the course themselves. These positions are advertised on the College's website and Faculty Advisors often are able to provide information about classroom employment opportunities as well.
