Scholarships
Graduates of this college are at the forefront of equating that more health – less medicine leads to more fulfilled and enjoyable lives. Scholarships enable students to focus on their studies and remain in school. Students in the college have a high dropout rate in their 3rd year due to tuition debt.
The college offers a variety of options for funding named scholarships through annual gifts, endowments, and estate gifts. These named scholarships help encourage and inspire students, and may offer significant tax benefits to the donor.
Fellowships
The degrees programs that the college offers are among the fastest growing health care professions in the US, including Utah. By providing fellowships to the master’s and PhD levels, we will continue to attract the most competitive applicants. The college offers naming opportunities for fellowships and will answer questions you have on how best to accomplish this gift.
