Student Diversity Support Scholarship

The Division of Management is committed to developing passionate healthcare leaders who will make impactful changes within all areas of the healthcare industry. We at the Division of Management believe that diversity (as defined by the OHSU School of Medicine as difference in ethnicity, race, gender, rural heritage, economic background, sexual orientation, cultural and belief systems and educational hardships) within our programs provides a richer educational experience for all of our students. To support this endeavor within our programs, we offer the Student Diversity Support Scholarship to assist students who work to serve disadvantaged populations or who increase the diversity of the school in order to enrich the quality of education consistent with OHSU’s mission and goals.


For the 2025-2026 academic year, the Division of Management Student Diversity Support Scholarship will provide two scholarships for students admitted into the MSHA or HCMBA for Fall 2025. Each scholarship will be a one-time scholarship of $1,000 to be applied toward required coursework. Applicants must meet the following requirements to be considered:

  1. Be employed in a healthcare setting that serves disadvantaged populations or come from a socially or economically disadvantaged background.
  2. Submit a Fall 2025 admissions application for The Healthcare MBA or MS Healthcare Administration program.
  3. Complete this application by end-of-day Monday, September 1, 2025.


Scholarship awardees will be selected by September 22, 2025. All applicants will be notified of the decision.
