$3,900 USD scholarship opportunity that is available to your students for summer 2018. We are offering one fully-funded scholarship place on the 'Public Health in Colombia' course run by the Institute of Public Health at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota, Colombia. In addition, we will be providing two further bursaries of $500 each.
 
The four-week course will provide students with a unique opportunity to explore Public Health, investigating the particular challenges that Colombia faces during a pivotal time for the country as it transitions towards long-term peace. As ex-combatants re-integrate into society and Venezuelan immigrants cross the border and join the millions of internally displaced refugees seeking medical care, the question of ensuring the health of the growing masses is at the forefront of Public Health concerns for the country.
