Medical School Financial Aid Options

I've have several clients who were admitted to medical school this season and may not be able to go secondary to difficulty securing tuition. Remember that getting a Federal GradPlus or other type of loan is difficult now, and that will likely continue at least through next year. Start to think now about how you will finance your education and whether you are a good risk for a loan. If not, consider what family member might co-sign a medical school tuition loan for you. The AAMC has a section on their site called Financing Your Medical Education, which is a good starting point in considering these issues.
