Invest in Students
Harvard Chan students are the next generation of public health leaders. Our alumni are innovators, advocates, and investigators pushing public health forward on every front, and each year their ranks multiply. Many students rely on financial aid to choose education and work in public health.
Building Our Community
We believe talent knows no financial bounds. That’s why we’re committed to bringing outstanding students from all backgrounds to our School through financial aid. Donor support ensures students like Brett Turner, DrPH ’25 can immerse themselves in their studies and pursue impactful public health careers without the burden of excessive debt. Help us bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.

Name a Financial Aid Fund
Leadership-level donors can create an endowed fund to provide stable support in perpetuity, or a current-use financial aid fund that is spent down and can be put to work immediately. Donors to financial aid may have the opportunity to meet with the recipients of their scholarships and hear from them during their course of study. Contact giving@hsph.harvard.edu or call 617-432-8470 to learn more about named financial aid fund opportunities.
Due to the diversity of student circumstances, financial aid funds may provide varying levels of support to one or more students.
