Health Administration Academic Scholarship

The Master of Health Administration Program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler offers a limited academic scholarship for degree-seeking graduate students admitted into the MHA program. These scholarship awards are for $250 per Credit Hour (CH) up to 3 CH ($750) per semester (typically fall and spring) based on availability of funds, number of applicants, and the academic merit of the student. If awarded, scholarship funds will be applied to the student’s account at the beginning of the award semester. A new application is required before each semester.
o The decision to award the scholarship will be determined by an institutional committee made up of members of the Graduate Faculty. The committee’s decision will be based on a composite evaluation of the student’s application, qualifications and the availability of funds. If awarded, the student must maintain regular enrolled student status during each semester of the award and must not be on scholastic probation, leave of absence, or registered in absentia. Failure to meet these conditions may result in termination of the scholarship. At the discretion of the committee, the scholarship may be reinstated once the student regains regular student status and/or adequately corrects any academic deficiencies.
o To be awarded a continuing scholarship, the student must:
 Have a current, approved degree plan on file.
 Have maintained the requisite course load for the previous award semester.
 Have satisfactorily completed all previous coursework in the program with a “B” or better.
 Enroll in and maintain at least 5 credit hours in the MHA program during the award semester.
o In order to be initially considered for this scholarship, a student must:
 Be admitted to the UTHSCT MHA degree program (clear or provisional admission as defined in the General Academic Catalog).
 Be actively pursuing the MHA degree (neither on academic leave of absence nor in absentia).
 Have met all program prerequisite requirements.
 Have satisfactorily completed all previous coursework in the program with a “B” or better.
 Enroll in and maintain at least 5 credit hours in the MHA program during the award semester.
