The Financial Aid Assistance Booklet presents all types of aid offered through the University of Louisville and each scholarship and financial aid program is explained in detail. Students needing financial assistance are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office to obtain information and current financial aid publications. The formal application period begins January 1 and applications must be completed by April 15 for the following academic year. Scholarships are awarded according to need, scholastic achievement and other criteria set by the donors. Academic scholarships may be awarded to medical students who are ranked near the top of their class.
Awards depend on the availability of funds.
Students are encouraged to seek outside sources of scholarship aid as well. Because most scholarships are awarded on the basis of need as well as academic merit, a financial aid needs analysis should be performed. The following are some of the scholarships currently offered at the School of Medicine through the Financial Aid Office. Many of the scholarships have financial need as part of the requirement. Details concerning each scholarship are included in the Financial Aid Assistance Booklet.
