NHHF Hispanic Health Professional Student Scholarship

The National Hispanic Health Foundation awards this scholarship to health professional students with outstanding academics, documented leadership, and a commitment to serving Hispanic and underserved communities in the U.S. Awards include $5,000 scholarships renewable for up to four years (with one-on-one professional mentoring through the United Health Foundation partnership) plus one-time awards of about $2,000.

Applicants need not be Hispanic, but an affinity for the health of Hispanic communities is required. Students must be enrolled full-time in an accredited U.S. graduate program in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, nursing (including BSN), or public health, with a minimum 3.0 GPA. U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and DACA recipients may apply; priority goes to first-year students.

The application requires a personal statement, CV, one recommendation letter, proof of status and enrollment, and a transcript. The deadline is August 15 each year.
