Funding
School of Medicine & Health Sciences Scholarship
GW SMHS offers limited tuition awards and scholarship assistance for students in the Health Sciences. These resources come from a variety of different endowed and restricted scholarship funds as well as through research or contracted training grants. To qualify, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, be enrolled full-time in an approved program of study, and demonstrate exceptional potential for success in their program as evidenced by their post-secondary academic achievement, professional experiences, and leadership in the community. No additional scholarship application is required for consideration.
Tuition awards and scholarships are credited to the student's account at the beginning of each Semester after the student has registered for the required credits. These awards cover the cost of tuition for coursework that is credited towards the student's degree program, up to the total amount of the award. Any part of the tuition award that is not used within the academic term stated reverts to the department and cannot be converted to cash.
The student has full responsibility, unless the award letter states otherwise, for covering the costs of the following charges upon registration: The Student Association fee, tuition charges above the tuition award, late registration fees, special course-related fees, and the health insurance fee. The student will also be liable for any payment due and charges for courses that are (1) not on the student's program of study, or not taken for credit. Consortium courses are allowed if the particular course is not offered at GW and if the consortium course is included in the student's official program of study document.
