AAMS is pleased to offer limited need-based/merit scholarships to select students every year. The process is different for new students and for returning AAMS alumni. We are initiating a program that will allow you to be the inspiration for others to attend the Academy.

1. Choose your program

2. Complete and submit your application

3. You will be notified of your financial aid status

Learn about Financial Aid Assistance here:

AAMS offers scholarships for students who show academic excellence but also demonstrate financial need. To be considered for a scholarship, the student must be a U.S. citizen and meet one or more of the Federal Required indicators listed to the right >

• Student's annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the Federal Government.
• Student is enrolled in a federal, state or local program that aids students from low-income families.
• Student's family receives public assistance.
• Student lives in federally subsidized public housing, a foster home or is homeless.
• Other request from high school principal, high school counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader that explains a student’s financial need.

Scholarship/Financial aid requests must be submitted in a written letter along with the application and must include parents' previous two years federal and state tax returns for review. 

Scholarship funds are very limited, and we want as many students to have access to our program as possible. 

The awarded scholarship winners will have a chance to receive a role as a Teaching Assistant at the 2025 Advanced Cardiothoracic Surgical Skills Conference.
