2025 Health Educators' Institute Scholarship Information

Ohio SOPHE is now accepting scholarship applications until June 30 for the 2025 Health Educators’ Institute (HEI).

This pilot scholarship program is made possible through a workforce development grant received from the Ohio Department of Health.  Ohio SOPHE intends to award approximately $8,000 in scholarships to reduce financial barriers for Ohio’s Health Educators to access: 

• Timely, skill-based professional development. 
• Meaningful networking opportunities with colleagues.
• 11-15 hours of continuing education credits for Certified and Master Certified Health Education Specialists as well as Ohio Prevention Professionals. 

Two categories of scholarships are available for this pilot program.

1. Professionals, defined as individuals working in, aspiring to work in, or retired from a health education position. 
2. Students, defined as individuals who are enrolled full time in a health education program or related field.
