Scholarships

Henry Silver Diversity Scholarship : Scholarships honoring our founder, Dr. Henry Silver, was established to honor those students who contibute to the educational benefits of a diverse student body. Diversity is defined in broad terms. Scholarships are varying amounts according to funding availability.. Colorado Residents are given preference in determining this scholarship.

National Western Stock Show Scholarship : This generous scholarship is available competitively and requires commitment to work in a rural Colorado/Wyoming area for 2 years following graduation. The scholarship award provides $4,500 per year for a total of $13,500. It is limited to rural track applicants in the CHA/PA Program with preference of residents from Colorado and Wyoming.

Small scholarships are available from time to time throughout the three years for matriculating students. The PA Foundation, constituent organizations, and specialty organizations offer scholarships to matriculating students. In addition, other opportunities may be found through the UCD Office of Diversity and Inclusion or financial aid. While these scholarships are helpful, a student can not depend on them for financing their education.
