Admissions
Fellows candidates must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent and a desire to create change in their communities to promote health. Stanford H4A employs both classroom based curricula and a service-based learning practicum. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate both success in the classroom and an ability to work successfully with others in a community setting- whether that community is work or volunteer-based.
Stanford H4A does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin.
Applications, including all supporting documents, are due May 6, 2015 by 5:00pm PST. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Decisions will be announced within approximately 30 days.
How to apply:
To apply, please submit the following:
- online application
- application fee ($50)
- current resume or curriculum vitae (CV)
- college transcript(s). If you are a current undergraduate expecting to graduate before the start of the H4A program, admission is contingent upon H4A's receipt of an official transcript indicating degree conferral.
- two references, one of which must address your ability to work within a community. A link for your reference writers to send their references is provided in the application; it is your responsibility to send the link to your references and ensure that they respond before the deadline. If you would like to receive an automated email message notifying you that the reference has been submitted, please ask your reference writer to enter your email address on the webform.
- if applicable, IRS returns to support a request for financial assistance (via US mail only and must be postmarked before the deadline.)
All fee payments and documentation, including references and financial assistance documents, where applicable, must be received by Stanford H4A for your application to be considered.
Stanford H4A will not respond to status requests regarding references and documents.
