As the overall costs of medical education continue to increase, it is important that medical students begin an investigation of potential financial aid sources as early as possible. As outside employment is not a viable option for the majority of medical students, and university sources of funds are often limited, accepted applicants should contact their school's financial aid office early to explore their options and understand the school's financial aid awarding policies and procedures. In most instances financial aid available to students comes from sources outside of medical school. Accepted applicants should be aware of the following programs, which provide the majority of aid to medical students.
