Scholarships and Grants

SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS

Scholarships generally do not have to be repaid and are awarded based on academic performance, financial need, or other criteria specifically outlined. Contract scholarships normally require a service commitment after graduation for a specific number of years. Please note that if a student signs a service commitment scholarship while enrolled, he or she may not be able to participate in certain state or federal loan repayment programs after graduation. To be eligible to participate in most loan repayment programs, prior commitments must be fulfilled by service or repayment plan.

Students are responsible for researching external scholarship opportunities and should provide the University of Pikeville with a copy of the scholarship payment information if one is awarded. These scholarships will be added to the student pending financial aid when information is provided.

Military Health Professions Scholarships (HPSP)

The United States Military offers competitive scholarships for full tuition and required fees plus a monthly stipend through the Air Force, Army, and Navy. HPSP scholarship recipients are commissioned as officers and are required to serve in the military for a specific period of time, depending upon the number of years the recipient received the HPSP scholarship. Applications and additional information are available online or directly from local Army, Navy, and Air Force recruitment offices, which are located throughout the United States.
