A: The Department of Population Health Sciences gives out a limited amount of scholarship funds to incoming cohorts each year. Please note the priority deadlines on our website to find out the deadline to be considered for these funds. Please note: there is nothing additional student applicants need to do in order to be considered for the departmental scholarships. Students are evaluated on academic preparedness, previous research, operational, and academic experiences, submitted test scores and letters of recommendation.

Other than the departmental scholarship funds, there are no other scholarships that the department/Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences directly manage. There are often scholarships in the respective fields of Biostatistics, Data Science, Health Informatics, Health Policy, and Health Economics that students can apply to. To find these sorts of opportunities, a good first resource would be checking the websites of professional organizations in these fields, such as AcademyHealth, American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), HIMSS, and the American Statistical Association (ASA). Various federal agencies often have funding for students to pursue as well, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
