Two main types of financial assistance are available to students: scholarships and student loans. Learn more about each below.
Outside scholarship money is limited. It is your responsibility to take the initiative and work with the Director of Financial Aid to identify and pursue any available funding sources. Scholarship information is also available at the library and online:
TIP: When searching for outside scholarships, keep a list of those for which you are eligible. If you find one that requires you to be a second- or third-year medical student or the deadline has just passed, record all the important information about the scholarship: who's offering it, how to contact them, application process, deadline and requirements. That way you can apply in the future!
Borrowers are given up to 10 years to repay. Borrowers with more than $30,000 in combined federal loans may be eligible for extended repayment up to 25 years. You may qualify for deferment and/or forbearance on this loan. An origination fee may be charged.
