Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will offer up to 20 scholarships for students enrolled in its Bachelor’s program in Public Health for the 2017-18 academic year.

Awards will range from partial to full tuition scholarships for qualified students.

All new students enrolling in the Public Health program for fall 2017 or current Public Health students enrolled in the program as of February 1, 2017 will be eligible to apply for this scholarship.
