Now in its sixth year, PHILA helps students develop real solutions to real public health challenges while connecting with Drexel faculty and peers who share an interest in health, community, and social impact.
Who should apply: Motivated high school juniors and seniors interested in health, science, social justice, community work, or leadership.
Rolling admissions are open through Friday, June 19, 2026.
