Financial Aid

Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid! The Office of Financial Aid serves all students in the MD and MD/combined degree, Public Health and Professional Degree, and Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences programs.

The intent of the financial aid programs at TUSM is to assist students with meeting any shortfall that exists after a maximum effort has been made by the student and his/her family to pay for school-related costs.

Financial Aid advisors are available to answer questions and to provide assistance. Although staff can answer routine questions on a walk-in basis during office hours, you are encouraged to make an appointment if you would like to meet with your particular financial aid advisor at a specific time.
