Funding for MPAS Students
Scholarships
The IHP awards scholarships for tuition and fees to approximately 20% of each entering MPAS class. You do not apply for these scholarships. They will be offered based on the strength of your application. The scholarships cover varying amounts of the total cost of tuition and fees for the program, ranging from 25% to 100%. Scholarship recipients receive notice of these awards in their admissions letters. Learn more about scholarships.
Loans
Many students will take out loans to help finance their MPAS. If this is necessary, we encourage you to borrow only what is absolutely essential to cover your educational costs. Learn more about loans available to MPAS students.
