Scholarships are a great way to provide additional support for your education. As a student pursuing a degree in the UW-Milwaukee College of Health Sciences (CHS) you have many scholarship opportunities available to you. CHS typically awards more than $32,000 per year in scholarships to our students. The typical minimum award is $1,000 with some as high as $3,000!

CHS Scholarships are available to all students!

  • Undergraduate and Graduate students
  • First generation students
  • Students from underrepresented backgrounds
  • Students in all CHS degree programs and in all class levels
  • Students new to CHS as new freshmen or transfers from other institutions
  • All GPA’s at or above a 2.5

Not all scholarships are based on financial need, however you apply through the UWM Panther Scholarship Portal in the Financial Aid Office. Students complete a FAFSA first, then are matched with Scholarships they are eligible for. Complete the online application (and maybe an essay or two) and you’re done!
