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!
