The University of Iowa MHA Program has one of the most dedicated alumni bases in the country. Because of their support, we have been able to provide a record amount of financial assistance in 2018-19. Last fall and early spring, we were able to award over $37,680 in recruitment scholarships, and 28 Graduate Assistantships (worth approximately $630,000) to help recruit exceptionally talented MHA students to Iowa. Additionally, this fall we were able to provide over $19,000 in merit-based scholarships to our returning students to honor their outstanding work. Through the generosity of our alumni community, we are happy to be able maintain Iowa’s reputation of recruiting and developing outstanding MHA students. 
A major priority of the University, College and our MHA program is to ensure our programs support diversity, equity and inclusion. By securing funding through the College of Public Health and the University of Iowa Graduate College, we were able to provide over $21,550 in diversity scholarships to MHA students. 
We are pleased to report that the total financial support for MHA students thus far for 2018-19 is $708,231! The HMP department and its students could not be more grateful for the opportunities this financial support has given them, and in particular, our unparalleled support from our Iowa MHA Alumni.
