Funding for Scholarship & Discovery Global Health Scholarship Track

Funding Availability

The Pritzker School of Medicine will provide students in the S&D Global Health Scholarship Track with limited funds to travel internationally to conduct their Scholarship & Discovery research during the MS2 Spring Block and MS4 year.

Although the school may not be able to cover all traveling expenses and program fees, it is the goal of the Scholarship & Discovery Team to provide each student with as much funding support as possible. The amount of funds awarded to each student is based on the number of applications, budget allocation, and the length of the trip.
