Scholarship Information

The College of Allied Health is fortunate to have several scholarship opportunities for our current students thanks to our donors, alumni, and partners. Thanks to their generosity, we award over $100,000 in scholarships annually.

Current students are notified every fall semester that the College of Allied Health Scholarship Application is available and are encouraged to complete an application for review by each department’s scholarship committee. These scholarships are available to students who are currently enrolled and will be continuing their education into the subsequent spring semester, with any received scholarships being applied to their spring bursar account.

In addition to college scholarships, we encourage students to visit the Student Financial Aid website to explore additional opportunities available at a university level.
