Forms and Costs for DMD and DIS Programs

Application Information and Forms

Students are notified by the Financial Aid Office when application materials for the new academic year are available for download, usually at the beginning of February. You can find all the application materials below.

As a graduate/professional student, you are considered “independent” when applying for most federal student financial aid programs. However, some federal and institutional financial aid programs require the student to submit parental financial information as part of the student’s financial aid application requirements. Students are not required to submit parental financial information if they do not intend to apply for financial aid programs which require submission of such information.

Financial aid application procedures are outlined in the Financial Aid Manual. All financial aid applicants must read the manual prior to the completion of any application forms. Applicants can refer to the Financial Aid Application Checklist for a summary of the required forms as well.

Students who have completed the e-Consent for Communications Form can upload their financial aid application documents to our secure online Financial Aid Box Portal utilizing the link below. Students who do not provide the e-consent, are not eligible to upload documents to the portal.  Please make sure the file(s) submitted includes the student’s name, program, class year, and doc name (e.g. Smith, John, DMD28, tax return)

Students interested in applying for financial aid for the current 2024-2025 academic year, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Cost of Attendance

A student’s cost of education is made up of both billed costs (tuition and fees) and indirect costs (living expenses, books, and supplies). Students may receive financial aid up to (but not exceeding) their total cost of education each academic year. Please note that the 2025-26 billed costs listed are subject to change.

The living expense allowance portion of a student’s cost of education is determined based on a survey of currently enrolled students and the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics cost of living averages for the Boston metropolitan area. Currently, the living expense allowance is $3,550 per month for students living off-campus and $2,025 per month for those living with their parents. This monthly allowance is multiplied by the length of the student’s academic year. A more detailed breakdown of the components is available in the Student Loan Handbook.
