"Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Program Funding

The NIH mentor is responsible for paying the student stipend, health insurance, and travel beginning October 1st of the student’s first year in the program. Additionally, mentors are expected to provide a laptop for the student.  During your first and second years in the partnership, your tuition bill will be paid directly by the NIH. If you receive a bill from your college at any time during your first or second year, please communicate this with the GPP office (duffyca@od.nih.gov). In subsequent years, the GPP office will remind the Administrative Officer (AO) in your lab to pay the bill.

Per the partnership Memorandum of Understanding, the GPP covers tuition and fees for the two years students are enrolled at Oxford or Cambridge.   For Rhodes, Marshall and Gates scholarships recipients, student costs are covered for the first two years by the supporting organization.  Rhodes Scholars who are non-U.S. citizens receive three years of scholarship support.  One year of support may be provided for those students who have been awarded Churchill and Fulbright scholarships.

In the document linked below you will find detailed information regarding cost for NIH mentors for students in the program. Please contact Bridget Lampert (lampertb@niaid.nih.gov) should you have any questions regarding these costs.
