newbb电子ing for a Loan for Disadvantaged Students

The 贫困学生贷款 program provides long-term, low interest rate loans to full-time students who need financial assistance to pursue a career in medicine.

This loan has a 0% interest rate while you are in school and during your internship and residency years. This loan can be consolidated with 工作人员ord and other federal loans if you are concerned about being eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness 程序. Once you have completed your residency training, interest starts to accrue on the loan at a rate of 5%.

The newbb电子平台 Heritage College of 整骨疗法的医学 traditionally has received funding from the Division of Student Assistance at Health and Human 服务, and also maintains a rotary fund with repayments from graduated LDS loan recipients. The amount of funds varies from year to year and dictates how many students we fund annually in this program.

Preference is given to eligible year 3 and 4 students. Maximum award amounts are calculated using the cost of attendance minus the student's (and in some cases the parents') expected financial contribution as reported on the FAFSA, as well as the student's other scholarship and aid awards.

All interested students should contact the Heritage College financial aid office by email at ou-hcom.finaid@俄亥俄州.edu 或致电740-593-2160. Annual application is required even if the student received an award in a previous year.
