USMH Scholarships

At USMH, we believe in breaking down financial barriers to help you achieve your academic goals. Thanks to the generosity of our local Washington County community and alumni ambassadors, we offer a range of scholarships designed to support the next generation of USMH graduates.

These scholarships are available through USMH or external opportunities. Each scholarship requires a separate application, so be sure to explore your options.

Remember: If you seek traditional financial aid, you must apply through the institution to which you are accepted. If you want to apply for a scholarship, these are separate, individual applications from the items below. To see how to apply for financial aid through your university, visit the financial aid page.
