Training the finest students to become exceptional physicians is our highest priority. The current estimated expense for a Missouri resident attending our school is $55,086 for the first year; for nonresidents, that number climbs to $87,404. Even with financial aid, the average debt upon graduation is $187,000.
Every $5,000 awarded per year results in a $300 reduction monthly student loan repayment amount. Scholarship assistance is one of the main determining factors in selecting a school for our students. Financial aid helps us sway top students who are courting offers from multiple medical schools. It allows students to select the specialty that is most meaningful to them rather than the most financially lucrative option.
The MU School of Medicine currently has 27 endowed class scholarships providing financial assistance each year. Honoring every year of medical graduates through a class endowment is one of our top priorities. Join us in linking our past, present and future by creating a lasting legacy for your class that will indefinitely support coming generations of physicians.
