Costs and Financial Aid

The Geisel School makes it a priority to keep tuition as low as possible and financial aid high, a trend that has existed here for years.

For the 2013-2014 academic year, tuition is $53,436. Room and board are budgeted for $10,750. The Geisel School provides institutional need-based financial aid in the form of loans and scholarships for those students with documented financial need. In an average year, more than 84 percent of Geisel students receive some type of financial aid, and approximately 54 percent receive scholarship aid. Financial aid awards may include a "base loan" and, if financial need exists beyond the base loan, institutional scholarship funds. During 2013-2014, the base loan is $35,500.

Once you accept an offer of admission, the staff of our financial aid office will work with you to develop a sound approach to financing your medical school education, developing budgets, and managing living and educational expenses. The staff can also help you identify outside

loan and scholarship programs that may be able to provide support. At the Geisel School, the goal is to reduce the amount of money you have to borrow, ensuring broader career choices after medical school.

A complete set of financial aid applications and a detailed description of our financial aid policies and procedures will be provided during the

admissions interview. It is important to apply as soon as possible after January 1, since awards are made beginning March 15 and cannot be processed until all applications and supporting materials have been submitted. For more information on the financial aid application requirements, policies, and funding options, please visit the Financial Aid Office or call (603) 650-1919.
