Scholarships & Financial Support
Your ability to afford tuition shouldn’t decide whether you can pursue a career in medicine. ALMA provides scholarships and grants specifically designed to remove the financial barriers that keep talented Latino students out of healthcare careers. Our scholarships support students entering, and students enrolled in professional health programs across Arizona—from nursing and pharmacy to medicine and dentistry. We don’t just help you pay for school; we invest in your potential and prove that when financial obstacles are removed, talent rises. Every year, we award scholarships to students who have the grades, the passion, and the determination—but need someone to believe in them enough to make their education possible. With ALMA, you’re not just a recipient; you’re part of a legacy of students we’ve empowered to transform their dreams into degrees and their degrees into careers that change communities.
