Scholarships

A graduate education is more important than ever today, yet paying for one can be a challenge. No one should think that higher education is beyond his or her reach simply because of cost. With the help of federal, state, institutional and private funded scholarships and awards, students are able to achieve their educational goals for the future. Western University of Health Sciences offers multiple scholarships ranging from $100 to $20,000.

Second-year Western University of Health Sciences students are completing their Interprofessional Education (IPE) classwork with a course designed to motivate, excite and challenge them as they build relationships with other health professionals.

The new IPE face-to-face assignment was created by Dr. Jasmine Yumori, Course Director of Interprofessional Education. She was looking to get more engagement and excitement from the nearly 800 students who participated in the final class
