Because USMH is a Regional Higher Education Center, and all students apply to their participating university, financial aid is available to eligible students through each of the participating universities. 

If you are seeking financial aid, you must apply through the institution to which you are accepted.

Additional Scholarships are available! 

For all USMH students, there are additional scholarship applications and opportunities. Our local community in Washington County has supported USMH students through various scholarships. And, we always try to bring you external scholarship opportunities that may be unique to your program or industry.
