Awards, Scholarships, and Fellowships

The Foundation for the Advancement of Health Education (FAHE) application cycle for awards, scholarships, and fellowships is closed for 2023. Criteria for each opportunity are listed on application pages that can be accessed on the Awards, Scholarships, and Fellowships page. All applicants are evaluated on the caliber of their submitted documents.

Awards, scholarships, and fellowships are presented at the annual conference of the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE). Recipients are encouraged to attend the conference, though they are not required to do so to accept their award, scholarship, or fellowship.
