IHS Scholarship Program

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Scholarship Program is a federally-funded program that provides scholarships to American Indian and Alaska Native students pursuing health profession degrees. The program funds scholarships for various health disciplines including clinical and preventive services fields. Recipients receive financial support for their education in exchange for a service commitment to work in Indian health programs after graduation. The scholarship covers tuition, fees, and provides a stipend for living expenses. Students must be enrolled in an accredited program in an eligible health profession discipline. The program is designed to address the healthcare workforce needs of American Indian and Alaska Native communities by supporting students who will serve these populations after completing their education.
