21st Century Student Scholarship

This scholarship provides up to $1,500 in financial support to full-time undergraduate and graduate-level students to attend SOPHE’s Annual Conference (Summer/ Fall application cycle) or SOPHE’s Advocacy Summit (Winter/Spring application cycle).

Recipients may use the scholarship to cover costs associated with travel, accommodations, event registration, meals and incidentals to the conference or Summit.

Students who receive this scholarship help SOPHE build a strong pipeline of health education leaders with the skills to address today’s health challenges.

Students are eligible for a scholarship if:

• They are sponsored by a faculty member in the student’s program. The faculty member must be a current member of national SOPHE.
• They are a national or chapter SOPHE member in good standing at the time of application.
• They have not received a scholarship in the past two years. Preference is given to students who have never received this award.

Note: Students who receive a SOPHE 21st Century Student Scholarship are not eligible for the Vivian Drenckhahn Student Scholarship Award during the same calendar year January–December.
