We encourage students to explore all available options for funding educational expenses, especially opportunities for receiving scholarships and/or grants (recognized as “gift aid” not requiring repayment). Unfortunately, federal and state grants are limited or not available for graduate and professional students, and therefore, aside from limited institutional scholarship funding, we recommend students seek out various scholarship offerings from a vast array of “outside” entities (defined as entities outside of Tulane University who provide scholarship funding).
The FastWeb search engine is an excellent tool for researching available scholarship funding, so we suggest that you learn more about “outside” scholarship opportunities. Finally, throughout the academic year, please be on the lookout for communications (via the SOM Listservs) detailing various external scholarship resources designed strictly for medical students.
