Other Funding Opportunities
The UIC Office of Special Scholarship Programs is a great resource for student funding opportunities. UIC students may also attend a funding seminar through the UIC Graduate College to learn about various graduate funding opportunities. Other resources include:
Grant Writing Tools: MCHP students are eligible to apply for special funding that is available through the DHHS Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the Irving B. Harris Foundation. Student support through MCHP includes a limited number of assistantships with tuition and service fee waiver, traineeships, scholarships, travel awards, and other forms of support. EligibilityCommunity Health Science (CHS) students officially admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Program are eligible to apply for financial assistance through MCHP once they submit their Application for Financial Assistance form to CHS. Preference is given to students who hold a terminal clinical degree within their designated discipline (such as a Master's degree in Nursing or Social Work or a Registered Dietitian), those who have two years of paid professional MCH experience, and/or students with outstanding academic performance. Students must submit a Program Proposal in MCH their first term and must also maintain MCH as their major course of study. Special funding is available for qualified first year and continuing doctoral students in the MCH Epidemiology program. Application Process For Returning StudentsAll students will need to re-apply for funding each semester by submitting the MCHP financial assistance application form to Kate Barcal by fax (312.996.3551), email (kbarcal@uic.edu), or campus mail (mail code 923) by the second month of the previous semester.
