Premedical students should begin to investigate financial aid
sources as early as possible to avoid incurring more debt than
necessary. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges
(AAMC), about 81 percent of medical students borrow money to cover
expenses. In most instances financial aid available to students
comes from sources outside of medical school. Accepted applicants
should be aware of the following programs, which provide the
majority of aid to medical students:
