The Linda P. Fried Scholarship Fund

Dean Linda P. Fried has successfully led Columbia Mailman for 17 years, and throughout her tenure has built an extraordinary faculty, identified and mobilized response to emerging public health threats, solidified Columbia Mailman’s global reputation for leading public health research on the 21st century’s critical issues, and transformed public health education for the next generation of public health scientists, educators, and practitioners. The School, the University, and the field of public health are stronger because of Dean Fried’s leadership.

We believe our brightest graduates should be able to choose career paths that will enable them to address the most pressing public health issues worldwide. Graduating debt-free allows these students to pursue careers where their contributions will advance our shared vision of a healthy, just world.

Columbia Mailman trains its students to tackle today’s most pressing public health challenges. By investing in the Linda P. Fried Scholars, we are investing in a future of groundbreaking discoveries and world-changing leadership—and your support is crucial to this investment.
