Institute Scholarships

Each of the below programs has an Admissions Committee that reviews all applications to determine scholarship recipients.

Last academic year, the MGH Institute of Health Professions provided $8 million in scholarships and grants. Approximately 25% of incoming students in entry-level programs receive scholarship.

School of Nursing:

  • Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing

The Institute utilizes endowed gifts from donors to support ongoing student scholarships. 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%.

 

Institute Scholarship Requirements

In order to maintain an Institute Scholarship, recipients must meet all MGH Institute requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress. More information regarding our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy can be found in the student catalog.

Scholarships are awarded as funding for program tuition only. They are not granted toward fees or living expenses.

Outside Scholarships

We strongly encourage students to apply for outside scholarships. Each year, many of our students receive some funding from organizations outside MGH IHP.

Outside scholarship websites we have compiled include: CareerOnesStop.org, Discover.com, EduMed.org, FastWeb.com, SallieMae, SoFi, The Public Health Scholarship Research Guide, and Scholarships.com.

Other places to look include:

  • Civic and religious organizations
  • Professional organizations in your program of study
  • Your state and town
  • Your undergraduate institution
  • Your high school

 

Specific outside scholarships are sorted by degree program below.

Student Work Opportunities

MGH Institute academic programs and departments fund Graduate Assistantships, research assistant, teaching assistant and other work opportunities for IHP students, allowing students to earn a small stipend to offset some of their educational costs. The opportunities are limited and not guaranteed as they become available as needed, and are managed through the Human Resources Department.
