The Hispanic Health Professional Student Scholarship

Scholarship Description

In 2007, NHHF started its partnership with the United Health Foundation (UHF), which allowed NHHF to increase the number of scholarships it awarded. NHHF’s partnership with UHF is a unique mentoring program where scholarship recipients are matched with a professional for a one-on-one mentoring program that focuses on their professional growth. As of January 2025, NHHF has awarded over $2.5 million to 507 scholarship recipients. This year, the scholarship program will feature awards of $5,000 annually for up to four years, as well as individual scholarship awards of $2,000 each.
