Outside Scholarship List

This page provides information on the outside scholarships received by our very own UCSF students the past few years. The new tool below will allow you to review scholarships that actually apply to graduate students in health professional programs. You can filter by the Program of Past Recipients to see, for example, what scholarships Dental students have received, as that might apply to you. You can filter by Program Restriction as well, because a Medical student may have received a scholarship that is also open to Nursing students, for example. Search results include information on the amount awarded and the deadline dates, along with the relevant link to the outside organization. We hope you find this useful compared to the overwhelming results found in some of the more generic search engines.
