Overview of Financial Aid for Medical Students

More than 80 percent of Keck School medical students receive financial assistance. Students are discouraged from accepting employment during the academic year. Scholarships, assistantships and fellowships are awarded to medical students based on academic performance and/or financial need. Several low-interest, long-term federal, university and private loan programs are available to eligible students. In addition, USC also offers a short-term tuition payment plan and a prepayment plan.
