Financial aid overview

Loans, grants, scholarships and student jobs can make college more affordable and accessible. Familiarize yourself with the options available to you, and contact us whenever you need help.
Scholarships
AHS students in good standing who demonstrate financial need are eligible for the Van Doren Scholarship.
The W.E. Van Doren Scholarship Fund in the University of Illinois Foundation provides income for scholarship in the field of medicine and related healing arts. Applications are accepted in the fall and spring terms.
We don’t provide recruitment or merit scholarships to applicants—we reserve our scholarships for the students who enroll in our program. Every fall and spring semester, we award about seven endowed scholarships, with the average award being $2000. The scholarships are for academic achievement as well as financial need.
