Scholarships

Through the generosity of donors, NEOMED offers several scholarship opportunities to its students.

Scholarships are considered a source of “gift-aid” because they are a source of free money — financial aid that doesn’t need to be paid back.

Separately, we have advice for students seeking loans and other aid opportunities.

The scholarships listed on this page are presented in two categories: need-based and non-need-based.

Need-based scholarships

What is need-based aid: Need-based aid is offered to students who demonstrate a financial need. Student financial need is determined by FAFSA data. Need-based financial aid includes scholarships and loans.

How to be considered: Students must apply for need-based aid on an annual basis. Follow the guidance on the Applying For Financial Aid webpage to apply for need-based aid. The application checklist includes important details about your financial aid application.

Scholarship availability is subject to change based on available funding.

Non-need-based scholarships

Any enrolled NEOMED student may apply; financial need is not a consideration when determining eligibility. Rather, the criteria outlined in each opportunity needs to be met for full consideration. Scholarship availability and eligibility criteria are subject to change.

How to be considered: Due to the nature of many of the awards, the application process opens in September for the current academic year. Recipients will receive a revised financial aid offer if awarded a scholarship. Students will be notified by email when they can apply. Announcements will also appear in the Pulse, the University’s e- newsletter.
