Financial Assistance

The annual training stipend for the fellowship positions is $52,291 for Masters level candidates, and $57,755 for candidates with advanced graduate degrees (MD, PhD, DrPH, JD, etc.). The fellowship stipend is intended to assist with personal living expenses. In addition to the fellowship stipend, fellows will have access to a $4,000 health allowance that is intended to help offset the costs of health/dental/vision insurance premiums during the one-year fellowship period. Some positions, not all, may also offer a “travel/training allowance” that may be used to cover project-related travel, tuition, journal subscriptions, association dues, etc. Not all positions will receive a travel/training allowance. The need for a travel/training allowance is determined by each individual host-office, not by ASPPH.
