Like most dental students across the country United States, our students receive financial assistance to fund their education. Sources of financial aid come from institutional financial aid programs, including grants, scholarships and low-interest loans, federal student loans, such as Direct Unsubsidized Loan and Grad PLUS, as well as private education loans. International students may qualify for merit-based institutional aid programs and private education loans. Note that private education loan lenders will normally require an international student to obtain a qualified co-signer.
Each type of financial aid has a unique set of parameters and restrictions, so it is important to get informed about all of the options so you can find any that are right for you. The Office of Financial Aid at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine is available to help you navigate your financial aid journey.
