Managing the cost of medical school
Student loans can help you manage the cost of medical school tuition, supplies, and living expenses.
Federal DIRECT Unsubsidized Loan
The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is available to all students regardless of income or credit. This loan is not subsidized by the federal government. You are responsible for all interest that accrues while you are in school, in deferment, or during your grace period. You may choose to make interest payments while in school or defer (and accumulate) the interest until repayment.

Private Loans
While most medical students utilize the Stafford and Grad Plus loan programs, you also have the option to take out private loans. Private loans are used to help bridge the gap between actual costs and financial aid programs. Private loans are funded by private, third-party lenders. Below we have provided a list of several loan companies. These are private loans specific to medical students. Please be sure to check the rate and term of the loans as they may change from month to month.
