Internships / Scholarships
Impact Internship Program
The Impact Internship Program is sponsored by the South Central Public Health Training Center and the Alabama Public Health Training Center, both part of the South Central Public Health Partnership. The program provides graduate students with the opportunity to develop public health skills while assisting agencies in our partner states—Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi—in their efforts to assure a fully prepared public health workforce for the future. To be chosen as an intern, students must be enrolled in a university located in one of the partner states and pursuing a Master's or Doctoral degree in Public Health. Students will receive stipend payment provided by Training Center funding.
