Scholarship and Funding Information

Program funding is available at the Ph.D. level.  Most M.S. students will fund the majority of their Medical Physics graduate education with student loans, however, there are some scholarship opportunities available. 

Internal scholarship opportunities

To be considered for partial or full funding from the Medical Physics Graduate Program, your full application materials must be received by the application deadline. All students offered admission are considered for the following OHSU scholarship opportunities (maximum of 1 scholarship per admitted student):

• NEW! Provost Medical Physics (MP) Scholarships: All students accepted into the MP Program for the 2025-26 & 2026-27 academic years will receive a $10,000 Provost Medical Physics Scholarship for each year of the 21-month OHSU Medical Physics Master’s degree program. This scholarship supports OHSU’s initiative to grow the healthcare workforce in Oregon and beyond.  
• OHSU Provost Excellence Scholarships: This scholarship covers half the tuition and required fees for the 21-month OHSU Medical Physics Master’s degree program. OHSU offers the Provost Excellence Scholarship to students whose backgrounds are underrepresented in the health profession. This diversity is vital to serving the health care needs of Oregonians.
• OHSU President's Fund Scholarship:  This scholarship covers full tuition and required fees charged to the student’s account for the 21-month OHSU Medical Physics Master’s degree program. Funds are provided to one internally selected MP student each application cycle. To ensure that OHSU graduate students have the opportunity to help address the healthcare needs of Oregon, the region, and the US, the OHSU President’s Fund will provide funds to qualified students from diverse backgrounds to become health professionals.

• No separate application required.
• Selected students will receive notice of the scholarship with their acceptance letters.
