Financial Support

At WashU Medicine, we’re dedicated to helping reduce the financial burden of education, so you can confidently choose your career based on your professional passions instead of only your financial situation.

The Office of Student Financial Planning provides personalized assistance for each WashU Medicine student. Tuition and funding vary by program, so be sure to check the individual program’s website for information about the cost of education.

MD programs

MD students at WashU Medicine consistently graduate with significantly lower debt than the national average, thanks to our longstanding commitment to scholarship.

To provide an upfront cost of your WashU Medicine education and help you plan for expenses, tuition, merit scholarships and need-based scholarships for the MD program are fixed and stabilized each year for up to five consecutive years.

Merit-based scholarships are awarded by the Committee on Admissions. Need-based scholarships are awarded through the Office of Student Financial Planning. Loans are available to students who qualify based on completion of the FAFSA and the financial aid application.

Other WashU Medicine programs

For students enrolling in a program other than MD — e.g., audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, graduate programs — the Office of Student Financial Planning office primarily provides federal student loan aid combined with any program-available scholarships, work-study and assistantships.
