Medical School Financial Aid Information
Making the decision to go to medical school is a major financial commitment. Ross University is committed to preventing financial concerns from keeping any student from pursuing his or her dream of becoming a physician.
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 in 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 either government or 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 (as defined by Ross University) 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.
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 expenses.
Financial aid is available to all eligible students. Approximately 85% of Ross University students receive some assistance.
