Financial Aid and Wellness

As a pioneer school within the University System of Maryland, 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.
