Funding Opportunities

The CMM Masters Program does not provide financial aid, however students may contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance. 

Students who are admitted to the P-MAP program are responsible for paying the academic and living expenses.  Financial aid is available to those who qualify based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Graduate students may be eligible to receive aid from the following federal student aid programs:  Direct Loan Program, Federal Perkins Loan Program, and Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program. The Federal Direct Loan Program offers the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan and Federal Direct Grad PLUS loans. All P-MAP matriculates will be placed on the Perkins Loan waitlist to be reviewed for eligibility independently of the Federal Direct Loans. You will be notified if you are awarded Perkins as funds are limited and are based on high financial-need. Federal Work-Study is available to graduate students based on financial need and available funds. The P-MAP curriculum is rigorous and the program requirements do not generally allow for employment. If interested in FWS, please discuss with the P-MAP advisory group and the College of Medicine Financial Aid Office.
