College of Health Professions

The College of Health Professions at Wichita State University is a valuable resource for improving the health and wellness of the region. The college has earned a reputation of excellence through its experiential applied learning opportunities, strategic collaboration across disciplines and commitment to providing quality, affordable healthcare to the community.

The premier education offered in the College of Health Professions is enhanced by support of the College of Health Professions Shocker Fund, which provides unrestricted funding to areas of need, including applied learning opportunities, networking and mentorship, and community projects.

Another great way to support the college is by supporting the college’s need-based scholarships. Far more students apply for financial aid each year than WSU has resources to help. This fund will help us reach more students.

Your generosity makes a difference!
