Scholarship Opportunities

ASM students have access to a variety of exclusive scholarships through our partnerships with local universities and organizations. These scholarships are designed to support your higher education goals and ease the financial burden of college. Some of the current scholarships available exclusively to ASM students include:
  • $25,000 annually for 4 years (or more, depending on qualifications) to the University of Evansville for any accepted students.
  • $1,500 annually for 4 years to the University of Southern Indiana for 10 deserving recipients.
  • $1,000 General-Purpose Scholarship from the Vanderburgh Medical Alliance for 3 recipients.
  • $1,000 General-Purpose Scholarship awarded yearly to the recipient of the Weber Award.
In addition to these exclusive opportunities, the unique experiences and specialized skills you’ll gain at ASM make you a competitive candidate for numerous other scholarships beyond what is directly offered through our program. Every year ASM graduates earn significantly more scholarships than peers including presidential awards, and full tuition scholarships, among others. In fact, each of our 2023 and 2024 graduating classes, consisting of just 30 students, was awarded approximately $4 million in financial assistance for a total of $8 million in two years. This impressive amount year after year reflects the strength of our students' resumes, sought-after skill sets, and their standout college applications.

Students are asked to undertake a comprehensive research project in their desired area of interest, applying their knowledge and skills developed over their 4 years in ASM to real-world problems. This project encourages in-depth exploration and innovation, culminating in a presentation of their findings to peers and professionals.

ASM Students also have access to micro-internship opportunities that provide hands-on experience in various professional settings. These micro-internships allow students to gain practical skills, network with industry experts, and enhance their resumes, all while exploring potential career paths.

Our partners also offer invaluable support in preparing students for college and their future careers. By working closely with these community partners, ASM is able to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application, ensuring our graduates are ready to thrive in their chosen fields.
