Foreign students on F-1 visas are not eligible for federal financial aid. A number of grants and scholarships are available to students at the College of Dentistry. These are administered through the Office of Financial Aid in consultation with the College of Dentistry Scholarship Committee. The exact number of students receiving scholarships each year varies according to the amount of funds available and the academic performance of the student body. Additional grants to qualified students and for exceptional financial need are available through the Office of Financial Aid as federal funding becomes available.
Many students work part-time while in dental school.
However, once students become adjusted to life at the College, many pick up part-time jobs to earn a little money and to experience a change of pace from school work. Student jobs include assisting in the administrative offices, assisting faculty with research, and helping with the College's student oriented program. Most students seek college work study employment during the summer term, although some jobs are available during the academic year. Eligibility for CWS must be verified and arranged through the Office of Financial Aid and coordinated through the business office at the College.
