Financial Aid

The College of Osteopathic Medicine Office of Student Financial Aid understands that attending medical school is a financial investment in your future, and we are here as a resource for you. We encourage you to review our web pages and become familiar with the different types of programs available and the necessary steps to apply for financial aid.

Types of Aid

Loans

Loans are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Federal loans, which include non-need-based options, usually offer the best terms. Private loans are available from banks and other financial institutions. They carry variable interest rates and usually require a co-signer.

Grants & Scholarships

Scholarships and grants are financial aid awards that do not have to be repaid. These include need-based grants like the NYITCOM Institutional Needs-Based Grant, as well as private, local, and federally-sponsored scholarships. Contact our Financial Aid office for more information.

Work-Study

The Federal College Work-Study Program provides part-time employment to assist eligible enrolled students in paying for educational expenses. It is based on economic need. If you are not eligible for the work-study program, you can become a student aide. To find out if you are eligible for the work-study program, contact Tanya Patterson-Stanley at tpatte01@nyit.edu or 516.686.7415.
