The Dr Sylvia Meek Faculty of Tropical Medicine Scholarship for Entomology at Mahidol University offers support to public health entomologist students from South and Southeast Asia.
The Scholarship for Entomology has been set up in memory of Malaria Consortium’s Global Technical Director, whose untimely passing away in 2016 has left a significant void in the fight against infectious diseases, and malaria in particular. Malaria Consortium is delighted to have launched the scholarship in partnership with Mahidol University’s Faculty of Tropical Medicine (FTM) in Bangkok to continue Sylvia Meek’s legacy. FTM is a global centre of excellence for entomology, vector control, malaria elimination and tropical medicine.
FTM will be hosting the scholarship, which will support two students through a two-year Masters’ programme in tropical medicine specialising in medical entomology starting in August 2017, one being selected from the countries of the Greater Mekong sub-region and one from South Asia.
