FINANCIAL AID
In order to be eligible for financial aid, students must be accepted into the programs and enrolled on a full time basis. As an accepted student, you are eligible to apply for private educational loans from various private lenders. In most cases, U.S. citizens, permanent residents and Canadian citizens are eligible to apply on their own (no co signor) while all other students can apply for a loan with a US co-signer.
Upon acceptance, students receive an individualized financial aid package. It is highly recommended that students review their credit and credit score from all three major credit bureaus to determine their credit rating before making applications for a loan. This can be done inexpensively AnnualCreditReport.com. Financial Aid forms are included in the student’s welcome packet. The financial aid office will only certify a loan once the student has submitted the full deposit of $1000.
Private Student Loan Alternatives For Canadian Students
Trinity School of Medicine reserves the right to change tuition and adjust fees or to establish additional fees/charges whenever in their opinion such action is deemed necessary.
