Rhode Islanders

For those committed to addressing the public health issues that impact our neighbors and local communities.

Beginning in the fall of 2022, the Health Equity Scholars program has included a number of exceptional Rhode Islanders who are pursuing a master of public health degree. This expansion of the HES program is one element of Brown’s commitment to improve public health in our community. By investing in a network of local rising leaders, Brown will help to reduce the health disparities that disproportionately impact our most vulnerable neighbors.

Brown is making a commitment to Rhode Islanders by providing financial support, mentorship, leadership development, and academic and career advice. Those chosen for the program are asked to make a comparable commitment through service to the community. Scholars from Rhode Island will focus their practicum and their master’s thesis on a local public health issue. In addition, upon completing their studies, Scholars are expected to work in Rhode Island, or for the clear and specific benefit of the people of Rhode Island, for a minimum of two years.

Criteria for eligibility

  • Be a Rhode Island native, a permanent resident, or a current resident of Rhode Island at the time of application
  • Demonstrate a commitment to addressing public health issues that impact Rhode Island residents, through engagement or research with local organizations and communities
  • Have demonstrated leadership ability and potential
  • Candidates with two or more years of work experience are strongly encouraged to apply

The application deadline for the Health Equity Scholars Program is December 1. Applicants should apply through SOPHAS.
