RSPH will provide a one-time educational award match in the amount of $5,000 per student, for 1-5 graduates of Americorps who are admitted to the Master of Public Health or Master of Science in Public Health degree program. Award will be allocated over four semesters. Program participation will be evaluated on an annual basis.

To be eligible, students must indicate they are Americorps Service Members on the SOPHAS application and be admitted to the MPH, MSPH degree program. A central committee will review application materials for all Americorps admitted students and interview top candidates for the award. Students who are provided with the match will be asked to dedicate 5-10 hours per week to assist the Office of Student Services with the development and expansion of the Rollins-teer Service Learning Program. This will allow service members to apply the skills learned through Americorps and provide an opportunity for the continuation of service to the community through the public health program.

Emory University was honored with the 2008 Presidential Award for General Community Service by the Corporation for National and Community Service and earned a spot on the 2008 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The Rollins-teer Service Learning program at the Rollins School of Public Health was one of several programs highlighted among Emory’s achievements.
