Over 665 students

​From more than 200 academic institutions​​

are Paul Ambrose Scholars

The Paul Ambrose Scholars Program prepares public health and clinical health professions students to promote change and be leaders in addressing population health challenges at the national and community level.  Each year, the Paul Ambrose Scholars Program selects a cohort of 40 students from across the health professions to attend a Student Leadership Symposium.  Students commit their time and effort to improve health within their communities through the planning and implementation of a community-based project.  The Paul Ambrose Scholars Program helps students cultivate leadership and organizational skills in public health education outside of the classroom.

A life-changing and wonderful experience. Inspiring, touching, motivating, ​and I can’t express how honored I feel to be a scholar.

The experience was invaluable.  I was able to present my post-symposium project at a research conference and my poster won first prize.  Without the training and support of the PASP, this would not have been possible.
