Galen Louis Endowment Fund
Deadline: Opening and closing of the application will be announced on the DCPH Communications Canvas page

Dr. Galen Louis, an alumnus and former program director of ISU’s MPH program, has championed public health with an interest in program planning, evaluation, and addressing health disparities. His foresight, generosity, and desire to see more investment in students to improve public health in Idaho led to the creation of this scholarship fund upon his retirement. For the Spring semester, a $1000 award will be made to an MPH student who demonstrates scholarship, leadership, and vision for the future of public health.
