Other Aid Programs

The Health Sciences Center does recognize and administer other programs over which it has no authority to determine qualifications or amounts.

Scholarships offered by persons or organizations that determine the recipient and amount, but require the funds to be handled through the Health Sciences Center, are welcome. Any questions concerning such a program in which any applicant is interested should be discussed with the counselor for the appropriate school.

Service Oriented Scholarships and Loans, such as the National Health Service Corps and Military scholarships, provide extensive funding in exchange for future service or practice commitments. Additional information regarding these programs is available in the Student Financial Aid Office.
