SOM Financial Aid and Wellness
Financial Aid and Financial Literacy are topics that can intimidate students and parents; our departmental mission is to break barriers, educate our students on financial topics, and empower them to make sound financial decisions while in medical school and beyond. The School of Medicine recognizes the importance of developing a solid foundation of financial planning. Knowing how to manage your finances early on will greatly improve the probability of your financial success later in life! We believe our students should have the education, tools, and resources to reach financial independence. To advance this belief and commitment to you, the School of Medicine has developed an office just for you.
