Palmer students are driven to succeed, and we’re committed to helping students do that. As we strive to grow the chiropractic profession, we want to make sure that the best and brightest can study at the Fountainhead, regardless of their financial situation.
Each year, Palmer College of Chiropractic awards approximately $4 million in scholarships – many of which are specifically designated for incoming students.
Palmer Main Campus Scholarships for Incoming Students
New in 2022, incoming Palmer College students applying to the Main Campus are automatically considered for the following scholarships based on the requirements outlined below.
Fountainhead Award for Academic Achievement
Palmer students take education seriously, and so do we. We think it’s important to recognize outstanding academic achievement. That’s why we developed the Fountainhead Award for Academic Achievement.
The Fountainhead Award is a special renewable scholarship open to all incoming Palmer students who achieved a 3.50 or higher GPA as an undergraduate. The scholarships are awarded to incoming Doctor of Chiropractic students enrolling full-time.
