The IHS Health Professions Scholarship provides financial aid to qualified American Indian and Alaska Native undergraduate and graduate students. Recipients must be a member of a federally recognized American Indian Tribe or Alaska Native village only and enrolled in an eligible health profession degree program. In exchange for financial aid, scholarship recipients agree to fulfill a service commitment in full-time clinical practice upon completion of their academic or postgraduate clinical training. Applicants must be a United States citizen (US-born or naturalized) or US national to be considered for an IHS scholarship. Documents that will be accepted as proof of citizenship include a copy of the applicant's birth certificate, their current US passport, and their certificate of citizenship or naturalization. A copy of a driver's license or a social security card will not be accepted as documentation of citizenship.
