Scholarships and Awards

SCO offers a significant number of endowed scholarships and awards for incoming students. Eligibility requirements vary, but most require exemplary achievements in academics, OAT performance, leadership and/or service. SCO annually awards four-year scholarships to more than one-half of each entering class.

Approximately $850,000 were awarded to the entering class of 2023 through the endowed scholarship fund. A complete listing of scholarships with the requirements for each is published in the college catalog.

Annual scholarship approximations for the entering class of 2023 include:

• $25,000 (3)

• $20,000 (15)

• $15,000 (10)

• $10,000 (20)

• $7,000 (10)

• $5,000 (30)

• $1,000-3,000 (30)

In addition to the endowed scholarships for entering students, SCO offers other endowed scholarships and awards to currently enrolled students through the Annual Student Awards Program. Overall, approximately 60% of SCO students receive academic scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 per year, and we are actively seeking ways to expand scholarship opportunities.

Rewarding academic and clinical achievement through scholarships is a top priority for the college and its alumni.

In addition to scholarship offered by SCO, select students are awarded federal scholarships through the miltary and Indian Health Services. Also, AR, KY, NC and VA offer state scholarships (selected by the state) which several SCO students receive.
