Student loans
Most students in this program finance their education through student loans.

State/FSU Employee Tuition Waiver
Full-time state employees are eligible to use their State Employee Tuition Waiver for classes in the MPH program. Please note that graduate-level online EMHS classes are not state-fundable and are not covered by the State Employee Waiver. Only specific in-person EMHS classes are covered by the waiver.
If you have more questions about EMHS courses, please contact Sue Sullivan for additional assistance. EMHS classes are optional and count as electives.
After you register for classes, please fill out the State Employee Waiver and submit it to FSU Student Business Services by the 4th day of classes. Please check the Academic Calendar for specific deadlines each semester.
FSU employees, please note that you use a different waiver form: the FSU Employee Tuition Scholarship. However, the guidelines above still apply.
These waivers must be filled out prior to the start of each semester in which you would like to have your tuition waived as a state/FSU employee.
