Scholarships and fellowships
Provost Excellence Scholarship and the OHSU President’s Fund Scholarship
To help increase the number of students who graduate from our health professional programs and the diversity of our overall student body, OHSU has established the Provost Excellence Scholarship (covers half-tuition plus fees) and the OHSU President’s Fund Scholarship (covers full-tuition and fees). To be eligible, students must meet two of the OHSU diversity criteria. These are: racial or ethnic minority underrepresented at OHSU; first-generation college student; history of receiving public support; history of receiving educational support or accommodations; resident of rural Oregon. Those who apply to the MSHN/DI or MSFSS/DI program are automatically considered and nominated for this award if eligible.
