Johns Hopkins University graduate student Shilpy Vohra has bagged the highly selective 2025 Quad Fellowship.
The Quad Fellowship recognizes talented graduate students from the United States, Australia, India, Japan, and other Southeast Asian countries while promoting cross-cultural knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration. Recipients of the fellowship receive a stipend to support their education and the opportunity to participate in curated programming and networking events.
Vohra is currently pursuing her Masters in Public Health at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Hopkins University. She has formal training in pediatric medicine from India and more than a decade of experience across clinical, pharmaceutical, and public health sectors, including leading nationwide HIV prevention programs in India.

Commenting about the fellowship, Vohra told Johns Hopkin University, "The timing of the scholarship window perfectly aligned with my master's in public health academic schedule"
She added, "The opportunity of being part of, and learning from, an international cohort of Quad Fellows, had a tremendous appeal to me, as I wanted to learn from the expertise and experience of the best public health practitioners from the Quad countries."
Including Vohra, 37 STEM students were named for the QUAD Fellowship this year, representing 11 countries and 13 fields of study at 25 higher education institutions in the United States and Japan. The program is administered by the Institute of International Education, a nonprofit founded in 1919 to promote international education.
