Many MPH/MSPH students work part-time to help support their education. Student positions are paid an hourly rate and students may work up to 20 hours per week. Student positions range from administrative to research assistant opportunities within the Department of Public Health Sciences, but opportunities are also available throughout the University of Miami. Teaching assistant positions are paid a stipend each semester and professors select their teaching assistants based on an applicants’ course performance.
Positions are announced to all students as opportunities become available, and students can search for student employment opportunities on JobX. For more information, please visit the Office of Student Employment or contact Megan Garber, Associate Director of Career Services and the student employment liaison for the Department of Public Health Sciences.
MPH and MSPH students who are Florida residents may be eligible to receive the Florida Resident Tuition Subsidy.
To qualify for this aid, students must reside in Florida for 12 consecutive months for non-educational purposes before the semester of enrollment begins and must complete the Florida residency form. Students who receive tuition remission benefits for all or part of their tuition are not eligible.
Students must be enrolled in the MPH or MSPH program for the fall semester to receive funding. Distribution amounts are based on the number of registered full-pay credits in the fall semester. Only courses completed in EPH/BST qualify. Students admitted in the spring semester are not eligible for the subsidy until the following fall semester.
The number of credits that can be subsidized per student each academic year is dependent on the number of eligible students and available funds determined in August of each academic year.
Funding is distributed by Graduate Programs in Public Health (not the Office of Financial Assistance or Student Accounting). Please direct all questions to the Department of Public Health Sciences.
International students who do not have permanent residency in the United States should contact their local EducationUSA Advising Center for resources specific to your nationality.
