CUNY SPH and the Dr. Michael Apa Scholarship Fund are excited to welcome the first cohort of Apa Scholars!
Earlier this year, cosmetic dentist and philanthropist Dr. Michael Apa pledged $350,000 to establish a new focus on the intersection of oral health and population health. This investment supports a new scholarship fund for 10 students who aspire to address significant research gaps in the area of oral population health.
The Dr. Michael Apa Scholarship Fund in Oral Population Health is CUNY SPH’s first named scholarship in a new domain within the school. Beginning fall 2021 and continuing in spring 2022, 10 Apa Scholars will receive full scholarship to study oral population health within one of the school’s four departments to earn an MPH degree. This new pilot program will benefit from the guidance and leadership of Distinguished Professor of Epidemiology Luisa Borrell, DDS, PhD.
