~~Striving for Equity in Health Systems through Effective Policy and Management~~

Application Deadline: March 31, 2006

The Master of Science in International Health Policy and Management (IHPM) Program is pleased to announce a competition in which a full tuition and fees scholarship will be awarded to an early to mid-career development professional with a demonstrated commitment to effective health policy and management. The Scholarship for this one-year degree begins in August 2006.

The one-year M.S. Program is designed to train students to take on increasingly responsible roles in health policy planning, and in the management of policy and program implementation in health ministries and planning agencies, multilateral and bilateral development organizations, and NGOs. Students in this program learn how to make the best use of policy analysis to determine which plans work, which are the most cost-effective, and which are sensitive to a country’s values and culture.

The IHPM Scholar will receive full tuition and fee remission for the 2006/2007 academic year. The scholarship does NOT cover airfare, health insurance or any living expenses. Although nominations are encouraged from international and governmental development institutions and NGOs, self-nominations are accepted. Women, and candidates with experience in health policy, service delivery or education-related work with poor and vulnerable populations, are especially encouraged to apply.


Nominators may mail, fax (781-736-2774) or email (HellerAdmissions@Brandeis.edu) a letter of nomination to the Admissions Office.
