The RSPH Family Award is a partial tuition grant offered to any eligible RSPH employee’s child (natural or legally adopted) who enrolls in a master-level, degree-seeking program at the Rollins School of Public Health on a full-time basis. Courses taken on an audit basis (Special Standing) are not covered through the RSPH Family Award. The maximum award is 25% of tuition for the child of eligible  full-time and part-time employees.

Eligibility

The availability of the tuition award will depend on:

• the employee's date of hire
• the employee's eligible length of service
• the employee's employment status

The graduated benefit chart below details the benefit levels:

This tuition discount is provided per child. If both parents are Rollins employees and eligible for the RSPH Family Award for their children, the tuition discount will be based on the parent with the higher years of service. The amount of the award is not cumulative based on the parents’ eligibility. For example, if both parents are eligible for a 25% tuition award, the total benefit will be 25% of tuition (not 50%).

RSPH Employees are encouraged to contact Prudence Goss in the Office of Admissions and Student Services at pgoss@emory.edu with any questions.

Incentive awards are offered to incoming students who demonstrate their commitment to pursuing graduate education in public health through academic achievement, service, and work experience. The number of recipients and award amounts varies each year, depending on the availability of funding. Domestic students must submit the FAFSA to be considered for this award.

International and DACA Applicants are also eligible for this award.
