Financing your education
Qualified students may apply for:
- assistantships,
- scholarships (e.g. Foster G. McGaw Scholarship),
- fellowships (e.g., Abbott Fellowship through the Association of University Programs in Health Administration), and
- loans from program, public, and private sources.
We provide all HPA applicants with an application
