1. Does the Association for Minority
Health Professions Schools (AMHPS)
offer scholarships or other
financial supports for students
attending graduate or professional
schools?
We offer financial support in the
form of
summer
fellowships and internships
for graduate and professional
students. We do not offer
scholarships or fellowships that
cover tuition, room/board, and/or
other incidentals for students
pursing an undergraduate, graduate
or professional degree. |
2. As a university faculty, are
there opportunities for the AMHPS to
fund/support any of my research
interests?
The AMHPS aggressively pursues and
supports opportunities for faculty
at our member institutions to
further their research interests in
the areas of health disparities and
environmental health concerns. These
opportunities are made known through
the
Research
Advisory Council (RAC),
who disseminates the information to
their individual member institution
community.

3. I am a high school student and I
am interested in the Annual
Symposium on Career Opportunities in
Biomedical Sciences and Health
Professions. I live in a state not
represented by an AMHPS member
institution, what should I do?
You can contact the
Symposium
Planning Committee Representative
closest to your
state and apply through them. Each
year, the Association provides
support for its member institutions
to sponsor students outside of their
immediate geographic area to attend
the Symposium. The number of
students sponsored by the Foundation
fluctuates yearly, depending on
revenue.
|
4. How can I or my school join the
Association?
Membership in the Association of
Minority Health Professions Schools
is comprised of medical and
professional schools at the
Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) in the United
States. Academic Deans and
Presidents interested in joining the
Association should contact the Chair
of the
Board of Directors for
further inquiry. |
