Students First Fund

Your contributions to the Students First Fund are put to work immediately to support and enhance the core programs that benefit all students. The Students First Fund helps us to keep student needs front and center. The fund ensures that we can maintain the highest standards of educational excellence for every student at ACPHS. Every day, your gifts to the Students First Fund provide needed, immediate support of the hard-working students at ACPHS.

This fund is the best way for you to provide for the most pressing needs of the College in a way that helps every student. Today, your support is more critical than ever. The skills and expertise of our students and graduates have never been more needed than they are right now. Your gift to the Students First Fund will help us see our students, faculty, staff, and the College itself through these challenging times.

Every donor makes a difference to ACPHS through their gifts to the Students First Fund.

Greatest Need

In addition to supporting our foundational programs and the hands-on learning that prepares our students for an ever-changing world. The College relies on these funds to provide needed resources to pilot new student opportunities and continue to forge new ground in scientific research.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Working in health care takes both intellect and heart. It is a calling that all of our students must answer. Their potential and passion doesn’t necessarily equate with significant financial resources—a principle illustrated by the fact that the majority of ACPHS students now receive some form of financial aid.
