Financial Support
Full Time Scholarships
Each year, we award scholarships to high-ability students, with substantial funding aimed at talented minority students. As a result, more than half of incoming students receive scholarship support.
Since the majority of scholarships are awarded through the MHA Alumni Association, no additional application forms are required. Scholarship awards are based on academic performance, interview ratings and letters of reference.
In awarding funds, the MHA Program gives preference to new and currently enrolled MHA students. Since dual degree MBA-MHA students in their second year of study are enrolled as MBA students, they have limited access to MHA funds.
In addition to the Program scholarships, students may wish to investigate scholarships offered through the Association of University Programs in Healthcare Administration (AUPHA), National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE), the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force, to name a few.
Low-interest student loans and flexible work-study programs are also available.
