I don't remember it being mentioned in the info session I listened in on - a friend who's doing a PhD there flagged it for me and said it was a gift from the Rollins family. Otherwise I wouldn't have known either! It was $12k total for part-time and $25k total for full-time, so definitely generous and meaningful, but also definitely not full funding.

Emory did say "completed and verified" by Jan 5th for the guaranteed funding. I saw it bolded in an email from them on December 19th (but of course not until after I submitted the morning of Jan 5th, womp womp - on me for not opening the reminder email). If we both missed it, I am sure we were not the only ones! And who knows what work "guaranteed funding" is doing here.

Chiming in super late: I applied solely to Emory's DrPH program (though got it in this morning, so probably won't be verified via SOPHAS by today's priority deadline. I really think federal funding cuts are going to absolutely slam DrPH programs this cycle. I was lucky enough to land a job tangential to the field after nine months of unemployment, but as a global health security person & former fed, whew boy - nearly everyone I know is still unemployed and definitely not in the position to be shelling out for a paid doctoral program. Though maybe I'm wrong and it will be super competitive since no one has anything better to do.
