Financial Aid

Approximately 85 percent of all dental students receive some form of financial aid. Both scholarships and loans are offered, although the majority of financial aid comes in the form of student loans.

Federal regulations require that cost of attendance be based on the student only, and not include the student’s family. We are unable to consider larger cost of living expenses because a student is married or has dependents. However, child care costs for dependents can be added to the student’s cost of attendance when documentation is provided.
