Applicants must:

Possess a bachelor’s degree from a four-year, U.S. accredited institution
Have a minimum 3.00 GPA in all undergraduate and graduate coursework
Ensure good academic standing in current academic program (if currently enrolled in a degree seeking program)

Each year, the Center awards full tuition remission towards the completion of the Health Policy Certificate for approximately 15 Meharry students. To qualify, current enrollment at Meharry Medical College as a medical, dental, Ph.D., or MSPH student, as well as medical residents, is required. Ph.D. students must have earned candidacy before applying. All requirements for the certificate must be met prior to completion of the regular degree program. Applicants not enrolled in a degree program at Meharry are also encouraged to apply as external students. Tuition remission is not provided for external students and applicants should contact program administrators for current tuition costs.

In addition to the above mentioned requirements, applicants must submit the following materials to apply:

1. Completed Application Form
2. Two (2) Letters of Recommendation (to be uploaded with your completed application form)
