Additional ASUMH Scholarships

Additional ASUMH Scholarships Background Pic

How to Qualify

In general, ASUMH does not require a scholarship application.  All students become eligible for scholarships by completing the ASUMH admissions process and providing all necessary documentation for admissions as early as possible.  All ASUMH insititutional scholarships give priority to applications completed by the Early Application Deadline of March 15th for the upcoming school year that begins in August.


No additional application is required for consideration.  However, some scholarships will request additional document submissions.  Students receiving communications requesting additional documents indicates you could be considered for a scholarship which has additional criteria to be met.  Provide the additional documentation quickly, as timing may be a factor in scholarship awarding decisions.

Early Application Deadline

The Early Application Deadline to complete the admissions application is March 15th each year for the upcoming school year that begins in August.



Some Health Sciences programs have different application deadlines throughout the year.  Deadlines for scholarships in these programs coincide with the application deadlines laid out by the program.


Admissions applications received after the March 15th deadline may receive consideration for scholarship if no candidate that meets the deadline is deemed to qualify.

Additional Documentation

Individual Scholarships may require additional documentation.  Students may receive communications for additional document requests after applying for admissions.  If requested, provide the additional documentation as quickly as possible.
