Information And Eligibility:
The NAHSE Student Scholarships are professional development awards offered by the National Association of Health Services Executives to support African American graduate students pursuing advanced education in healthcare administration and related fields. The scholarship program is designed to reduce financial barriers for students preparing to enter leadership roles within healthcare systems, public health organizations, and health policy environments. By investing in graduate-level education, NAHSE seeks to strengthen diversity, equity, and representation within healthcare management and executive leadership.

These scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate academic excellence, financial need, and a strong commitment to careers in healthcare leadership. Eligible programs typically include healthcare administration, health management, public health administration, health policy, and other closely related disciplines that prepare graduates for executive and operational roles within healthcare organizations. The scholarship supports students during demanding stages of graduate study, when tuition and living expenses can be especially challenging.

Recipients of NAHSE Student Scholarships benefit not only from financial assistance but also from increased visibility within a national professional organization dedicated to advancing African American leadership in healthcare. Scholarship recipients are often encouraged to engage with NAHSE programming, mentorship opportunities, and professional development resources that support career advancement beyond graduation. This dual focus on financial support and professional growth reflects NAHSE’s broader mission of developing future healthcare executives who are equipped to address complex challenges within the healthcare system.
