Student Scholarships
Scholarships are the greatest area of need for our students.
Your gift can make an immediate impact on their lives. Many of our students are unable to work, therefore, scholarship opportunities are singularly important and valuable to earning their degrees. In some cases, scholarships can be a deciding factor in realizing their professional dreams.
The Gift of Scholarship
Please explore the many scholarships below that giving at Touro California can make a difference.
The Osteopathic Scholarship
A one-year, non-renewable award presented by the Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine for outstanding potential for leadership in Osteopathic medicine.
College of Education and Health Sciences Scholarships
The College of Education and Health Sciences incorporates our Graduate School of Education (GSOE), School of Nursing, Public Health Program, and our Joint MSPAS/MPH Program, which encompasses Physician Assistant and Public Health studies. The one-year, non-renewable awards are made by the Dean of the College of Education and Health Sciences to students with outstanding potential in each of the fields.
College of Pharmacy Scholarships
Pharmacy Scholarships are awarded by the Dean of the College of Pharmacy to current students and to highly sought-after students who may otherwise be reluctant to take on more student debt for pharmacy education and help attract them to the Touro pharmacy program and a pharmacy career.

The College also awards Diversity Scholarships to deserving students from underserved communities.
