Welcome to the HMS
Financial Aid Office web site!
The goal of the HMS financial aid program is to help students find the
resources necessary to attend HMS. In academic year 2007-08, the HMS
Financial Aid Office has administered over $25 million in loans, employment,
and scholarship funding from various federal, private, and school sources
to approximately 75 percent of the HMS student body.
Application for financial assistance is
completely separate from the application for admission. In evaluating
applicants for admission, the Committee on Admissions maintains a strict
policy of selecting candidates without regard to their ability to pay for
medical school. Candidates selected for admission or the wait list are invited to apply for financial assistance and
will be sent the necessary forms.
The Financial Aid Office awards
financial assistance solely on the basis of financial need and availability
of funds; there are no merit-based scholarship awards.
The decision to attend a high-cost
private medical school should involve the entire family. Individual
students (and spouses, if married) and their parents have the primary
responsibility for financing the cost of a medical education at Harvard.
Our financial aid program strives to help students meet a shortfall of
funds after the student and his/her family have
made the maximum financial effort.
