FInAnCIAL ASSISTAnCE Financing a medical education requires a great deal of planning and knowledge about resources. Students are encouraged to begin looking at the financial responsibilities of medical school as early as possible. At the College of Medicine, approximately 93 percent of our students receive financial assistance. The staff at our Student Resource Center/Financial Aid Office provides confidential counseling to all students as well as information about financial resources for which they are eligible. The College of Medicine administers a variety of programs that offer loans, grants and work opportunities. In order to be considered for financial aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information from the FAFSA feeds into a financial model used by the federal government to calculate each student’s and family’s contribution to expenses. With this information, the Student Resource Center/ Financial Aid Office determines the distributions of funds, most of which are loans from federal and state programs. Limited scholarships are available from the College of Medicine and private foundations. Private-source loans can also be arranged. Many students take advantage of jobs obtained through our work-study program. For more information, please contact the Student Resource Center/Financial Aid Office at 215-991- 8210 or visit www.drexel.edu/financialaid. • The best time to file the FAFSA is January 1 to May 1 (www.fafsa.gov) • Please be sure to include parental information on the FAFSA form • School Code is 003256 • Approximately 85 percent of our students take financial aid • We offer Stafford Loans, Campus Lending, Alternative Loan Plans and Merit Scholarships • Visit the Financial Aid website • WOMAn OnE
FInAnCIAL PLAnnIng SERVICES Drexel University College of Medicine has a financial planner on staff full time to assist all students and their families with counseling and financial planning during and after their medical school years.

Financial planning topics addressed include: • Debt • Budget • Credit • Marriage • Children • Taxes • Insurance • Mortgage • Wills • Risk • Retirement • Special needs ABOUT PERSOnAL FInAnCIAL PLAnnIng Personal financial planning is a series of steps used to reach an overall financial goal (e.g., financial independence) or a set of intermediate goals (new home purchase, pay for college, etc.). This often includes a budget that organizes cash flow by identifying all sources of income and expenses, and outlining a plan to save for future expenses. Financial Planning Process 1. Identify Goals – What financial goals are you trying to accomplish 2. Gather Data – Set budget figures, including asset and liability information. 3. Analyze Information – Consider alternatives and choices. 4. Develop Plan – Create action steps and time frames. 5. Take Action – Implement your plan step by step. 6. Review – Analyze your results to keep on track towards your goals. Scholarships and Loan Forgiveness Programs • n ational Health Service Corp. Loan Repayment Program • n ational Health Service Corp.
