The Health Equity Scholars program aims to create an interconnected network of diverse and transformational leaders who will use their talents and training to bring equity and justice to their public health careers.The cohort is drawn from a pool of exceptional students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), and local communities in Rhode Island. Although they come from different institutions and backgrounds, the Scholars receive the same benefits. Students entering the HES program from all three pathways work and learn together, participating in leadership development workshops, coaching, program events, and other activities.
