The Diana Hess Memorial Fund

In 1983 the Diana Hess Memorial Fund was established with contributions from her family and friends. Diana Hess, a former Peace Corps volunteer in Kenya, was devoted to improving public health in Africa. The Hess Fund provides an annual scholarship to students in the Department of International Health. The award is based on academic and professional accomplishments. Preference is given to those planning to work in Africa, but this is not a requirement for receipt of the award.
