At Brown, each student brings their dynamic background and personal experience to their studies. Fostering their educational journey is about supporting them and giving them permission to express themselves, find their voices and challenge the status quo. And by training a new, diverse generation of public health leaders, we are investing in better health outcomes for communities across the globe.

Initiatives such as the Health Equity Scholars and NextGen Scholars in Biostatistics programs provide full tuition for promising students and mark the beginning of a transformation in public health research, education and practice. The goal of these groundbreaking programs, and that of the school as a whole, is to create an inclusive leadership pipeline that reflects the communities it serves.
