Scholarship Opportunities
The Foster School of Medicine offers a number of competitive academic scholarships, awarded based on merit as determined by the Foster School of Medicine Scholarship Committee. Many scholarships do not require an application and are awarded prior to matriculation. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years, contingent on passing all subjects and successful advancement to the next year of medical studies. The number of scholarships and award amounts may vary.
Applicants should also review pathway-specific and military scholarship opportunities, which have their own eligibility requirements.
Planning for Medical School Costs
Applicants should consider both direct and indirect costs when planning for medical school. Direct costs may include tuition and required fees. Indirect costs may include housing, food, transportation, books, supplies, and personal expenses.
Because costs may change by academic year, applicants should verify current amounts before making financial decisions.
