This is the same methodology used to determine eligibility for other financial aid. Scholarships awarded on the basis of academic performance rely on the assessment of a student's record in comparison to peers. The Student Scholarship Committee is charged with determining the validity and appropriateness of criteria and making selections when criteria do not automatically identify the recipient. Scholarships, Fellowships and Special Funds Information on availability of these funds can be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Aid. The Southwestern Medical Foundation has an active scholarship program to help deserving young men and women obtain their medical education.
Student aid is available from scholarship memorial funds maintained by the foundation.
Additional information on these scholarship funds and other memorial funds that provide scholarships for medical students are listed under Endowment and Scholarship Funds in the General Information section of this catalogue. Loans Loans are financial obligations that must be repaid. Interest and repayment terms vary among the different programs, and UT Southwestern follows a policy of offering the student the most favorable loan for which he or she qualifies if funds are available in the program. All financial-aid programs administered by UT Southwestern are subject to the conditions, limitations and requirements prescribed by the agency sponsoring the program. The amount of the UFSL will be based on a student's total aid budget minus any other aid that has been awarded.
