School of Medicine Financial Aid Information

Making the decision to go to medical school is both a major life decision and a major financial commitment. Ross University is committed to doing everything possible to prevent financial concerns from keeping any student from pursuing his or her dream of becoming a doctor.

Ross University maintains a competitive tuition and provides the support that enables students to obtain loans and cost-effective living arrangements during their four semesters at the Ross campus on Dominica.

Student Loans

Students accepted for admission to Ross University School of Medicine, and those who are in attendance and maintaining standards of satisfactory academic progress, may apply for student loans through both government and private programs to meet direct and indirect educational expenses. The maximum loan amount for which a student is eligible may not exceed the Cost of Attendance for the academic period in which the student is enrolled.

Families should make every possible effort to attain the needed resources for education. Financial aid is intended to fill the gap that may exist between a family's ability to afford educational expenses and the cost of attendance at the school.

The Office of Student Finance assists students in applying for several types of financial aid from a variety of sources. Typically, students at Ross University finance the cost of their education by combining family resources, federal student loans, and scholarships and loans from other sources. It is advisable for all students -- including those who have applied for financial aid -- to bring sufficient funds with them to cover their initial month's living and housing expenses.

Financial aid is available to all eligible students. Approximately 85% of Ross University students receive some assistance.
