Hi Everyone, I'm new to this site, but a little bit about myself. I'm a recent graduate who will be applying during the 2021 Cycle (Starting med-school 2022). My major question pertains to having a house in my name when filling out the FAFSA. After some research, it is my understanding that...

Hello everyone! I’m an incoming OD class of 2024 and I’m so excited to start my education this year! That being said, I am well aware of the cost of said education. My federal aid only yielded loans and my school’s scholarship website only has specific scholarships that don’t apply to me. How...

Does anyone know of a scholarship database, or any other resource of that nature, for incoming/current medical students?

Hello everyone. This is a Texas Pre-Med here. While researching Medicine and Medical schools, I have been focusing, nowadays, on the grants and all the different types of aid I can receive if (Hopefully) I get accepted to a Medical school/various Medical schools. So, can you guys guide me on...

I'm deciding between two schools and I'm struggling to determine how much money should matter vs fit. If money didn't matter, I would definitely choose Loyola over Penn State because I feel it is a better fit for me. However, there is a major financial difference between the two. I was offered...

Disclaimer:) If this is not the right forum please tell me where to post/English is not my first language and I am on my phone so don’t kill me over formatting/grammar. I am hopefully transferring out of my Californian community college (applied to UC’s tagged UCSB so that seems a sure yes)...

Hi, By what month should a person apply for an NHSC or HPSP scholarship? Are they so competitive that you should apply asap? Or are some branches less competitive and relatively easy to get? Thanks for your input!

Hi! Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched old forum posts and really could not find what I was looking for. I have been accepted to a couple schools and I'm still waiting to hear back from a few, but I want to be proactive and start thinking about finances now. Almost all of...

Hi I'm a 4th year Canadian student and I've applied to NECO, ICO, Indiana, and Salus. I've gotten interviews from all schools, and have already attended Salus' interview. I want to know which schools are cheapest for Canadians, and if there is cheaper schools not on my list please list them as...

I am creating this thread so that I can connect with my fellow IHS students. Feel free to post questions in this thread concerning housing, tuition, contacts, and anything else IHS related. Looking forward to meeting you all this August!

How do schools usually determine who gets a scholarship? Is it mostly need-based or merit-based as well? Do lot's of applicants leverage their way into a scholarship? i.e. "I have multiple acceptances and will come to your school if you give me money." Do schools release financial aid (and...

As of April 30 I have been committed to the University of Virginia, who gave me $30,000 per year in scholarships and $10,000 per year in institutional loans. I really love UVA and I think I would be a great fit there. My family lives close to Charlottesville and I really have my heart set on...

Hey everyone, So I finally made the decision and picked an MPH program, but money, sadly, is a thing and so now I am trying to find outside scholarships to apply to. Does anyone know of any good ones or had success with any website? I have just been googling and looking on fastweb, but I am...

I'd like to gather all conversation about the scholarships and financial aid Berkeley gives its MPH admits in this thread. Berkeley sent an email recently saying the following: The School of Public Health has notified nominees of their nomination for GOP, Block Grant, and KP Scholars program...

Hello, I am starting dental school in July and was wondering if there were any scholarships I could apply for that aren’t through my school? i Am just working now so I figured I could apply for some that might save me some money, even just a couple thousand, but I’m not sure if they even exist...

Are recruitment scholarships the only types of scholarships medical schools offer? By recruitment I mean they only offer it to you if they see you have other acceptances. If you only have one acceptance is your chance of a grant/scholarship nil? Thanks for all the help :)

Hey all, I recently got a hefty scholarship from a school I was admitted to. Although this school is great, it’s not my number one choice. Can I use this scholarship as leverage to get money from other schools that I would admittedly rather attend?

Is this still a thing? I interviewed at BU and after hearing I was accepted to Tufts they pulled me aside at the end of the interview day and sat me in the Dean's office, who very kindly (and poetically actually) told me he wanted me at BU and he would be giving me a 20k per year scholarship. I...

Based on the school's calculations, it will cost $300,000ish dollars to attend 4 years. I'm not made of money so I've looked into primary care scholarship options. Specifically, 1 offers $30,000/yr so long as I take a residency in the state for primary care and then practice in the state for 3...

Hey, guys! Anyone here know of any scholarships for pre-dents to apply to? Thanks in advance! :)

Does anyone know if this can happen? I know usually schools will give out their scholarships to students during the first round of acceptances because they really want those students in their class. But does anyone know if you can still be offered scholarships if you get an interview after the...

Finances were something that had always been lurking on the back of my mind throughout the whole application process, but the reality hadn't sunk in until my first acceptance. Loans are inevitable and the extent of aid schools can give is limited, but ideally, I'd like to defray some of the...

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation (a good kind of difficult, though). As of now, I have been blessed enough to have been accepted to 4 MD schools, 2 of which I would happily attend. I have interviewed at 6 others, and am waiting to hear back from them. For this, I am extremely...

Based on the figure below, I'm curious if the track 3 NIH MD/PhD pathway might but you at a disadvantage when applying to dual MD-PhD programs? My reasoning is that, if you spent your PhD somewhere else, what incentive is there for the med school to pay for your tuition if you will not be...

Good evening, My question regards interviews. As of now, I have been blessed enough to have received 10 interview offers. I applied to a lot of schools, apparently underestimating my competitiveness. Of course, different schools will offer different financial aid packages, and I have heard of...

So I've seen on ICO's website that they offer a Presidential scholarship to incoming students. Does anyone know when applicants are told they've received this scholarships (or any scholarship from any school)? Also if you got a scholarship, what your stats were. Thank you!

For any urm that got acceptances or have knowledge through word of mouth I would like to know Which schools are generous with financial aid packages? Which schools are known to give scholarships to minorities? Please and thank you

For those of you that applied in previous cycles, what schools gave you decent scholarships? And if you don't mind elaborating, what were your stats? There isn't much out there on this. After searching SDN, I realized some of the large private schools like BU and NYU do offer good $$ to...

Becoming a doctor is a deep desire for me. I can't imagine being anything else. I adore the human body and I'm fascinated by pathophysiological processes. I want to serve my community in the fullest sense and I believe that I can best do this by becoming a physician. But I'm barely scraping by...

Hello, I am a 23 year old Mexican-American female who is starting the Physician Assistant Program at Philadelphia University in July 2017. I am having a very difficult time finding scholarships and financial aid, especially those that I am eligible for before actually starting the semester. Any...

Hey everyone, I'm currently hounding the internet for any programs/ scholarships that can potentially help me find a job and graduate with lesser debt after I graduate from vet school. I've only found one that I don't qualify for yet. Are there any more that you guys know of? For anyone who...

I am currently in my first year of my PhD program, and I decided just too late that I am interested in pursuing both an MD and a PhD. I am working with my current program to try to switch from PhD to MD/PhD, but there is no guarantee that that will be possible or that I will get accepted. If I...
