The AUB has received an award from the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva under the Tropical Diseases Research (TDR) Special Programme for 11 graduate scholarships in public health focusing on implementation research of diseases of poverty, particularly infectious diseases.

The scholarships are for students in the Master of Public Health (MPH) or the MS Epidemiology Programs.
