| Scholarship |
|
MUIPH training programmes are
expensive because of the field- based training components.
In the past contribution of resources and funds to run the
MPH Programme have been availed by Rockefeller, UNFPA, MOH,
and Italian Co-operation, WHO, private student sponsorship
and Makerere University. Through such support, a number
of scholarships to cover tuition were also available; unfortunately
this is no more. It is thus incumbent upon each student
to ensure that his/her tuition fees obligations to the university
are covered. This is in line with the university policy
on all privately sponsored courses such as the MPH programme.
Students will normally be expected to have cleared all tuition
dues before full registration. |
