Central Valley Scholars Presents
The Community Health Scholars
About the Program
The Community Health Scholars is a 6-week summer program in which students receive a comprehensive understanding of health, research, and community engagement. As a research and guidance program, students construct a community-based research project to understand a curriculum topic within their community and propose a community outreach project. The program director and professor aid scholars via classroom sessions and scholars learn more about research construction, community health topics, and connect with community organizations and already existing resources. All participants will receive a $100 award, and the final prize winner will receive $1000. At the end of the program, we host a Community Health Symposium where scholars present their research projects, and the $1000 prize winner is selected.
