Full Scholarship and Educational Stipend
The Warren Alpert Foundation awarded the University of Pennsylvania a generous $9.5 million grant to increase access for students from various backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to the genetic counseling field. Through this grant, the Alliance for Genetic Counseling Fellowship, a consortium of five graduate programs, offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to pursue a Master’s degree in Genetic Counseling.
Scholarship Benefits
Two-Year Full Scholarships
Students will receive two-year full scholarships, covering tuition, fees, and health insurance for the duration of their two-year program.
Living Expense Fellowship
To further support our scholars, we offer educational fellowships that help offset living expenses, allowing students to focus entirely on their academic and professional development. Fellowship amounts may vary by institution and will be discussed during applicant interviews.
Funding for Professional Conferences
Scholars will also receive support to attend professional meetings and conferences, gaining valuable exposure and networking opportunities within the genetic counseling field.
Funding For Master's Thesis Research and Capstone Projects
Some programs require that students complete a master's thesis and others require a capstone project. The scholarship provides funding to support this research, enabling in-depth exploration and analysis within the genetic counseling field.
