Our annual meetings provide networking, learning, and professional development opportunities for people at all professional levels. A scholarship can remove a financial barrier and help students make the most of what IAPHS offers.

In 2026, we'd like to provide 20 scholarships, typically about $650 each. Your gift can help us encourage and support the next generation of population health scientists.

"But in some cases, the infrastructure simply prevents students from being able to participate in school in the same way as their peers. At least 10 districts in Idaho said in 2023 that their bathrooms, gyms and cafeterias weren’t all accessible. Students in those schools have been unable to get their meals at lunch, to make it to classes on different floors or even to attend their neighborhood school. Administrators in three districts, like West Ada, said they don’t have playgrounds that all students are able to use."

Despite federal law, disabled students can’t access playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes and bathrooms. With added funding, school districts are still unable to make necessary fixes.
