Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine Loans

This is the primary loan offered to each medical student who applies for financial aid. The Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan is available to all students who are matriculated in a degree granting program, have filed and met the FAFSA eligibility criteria and meet enrollment requirements. This loan does not require a credit check or a certain level of income to be approved.

Private educational loans can help cover educational expenses when federal aid and other financial resources are insufficient. These loans may be an option for students who have reached federal loan limits or are not eligible for federal loans. Because private loans often have higher interest rates, fees and less favorable repayment terms than federal student loans, students are strongly encouraged to exhaust all federal loan options before borrowing through a private lender.
