Financial Aid Application Process

Receiving a Financial Aid package can help reduce your Medical School costs

Navigating the financial aid process can be quite an endeavor, but the mission of the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships is to help medical students do so by providing information, counseling, and resources. The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA offers scholarships, grants, and loans to assist in making a medical education affordable for a broad range of students.
