Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anyone knew the rules regarding FAFSA aid for MSTP students. I was told that I may be able to score an additional $8,500, which is much needed to handle some existing debt

This question has been answered by me a number of times over the years. The answer is:

Taking out government subsidized loans such as Stafford loans is program dependent. Some programs will allow it, others will not. How much you can get and when you can get it is a school dependent question as well. If this is important, you need to ASK ASK ASK and make sure you ask financial aid. The MD/PhD program officials are often very clueless on questions like this.
