Financial Assistance
Cost of Education
For the first-year class matriculant, tuition and estimated expenses for the 2009-10 academic year are listed below. Students who enter in 2009 will benefit from a tuition stabilization plan, which provides that their annual tuition of $47,150 will be constant for up to five consecutive years. The stabilized rate will expire five academic years after matriculation. Therefore, students whose medical education is interrupted for any reason for more than one year will be charged the rate of the class they rejoin. Appeals of this policy should be submitted in writing to the registrar. The items listed below provide an estimate of the expenses for a single student in the 38-week first-year class. The total of these figures suggests a basic minimum budget of approximately $63,602. Allowances for entertainment, travel, clothing and other miscellaneous items must be added to this estimate.
Tuition (includes Student Health Service and Microscope Lending Plan): $47,150
Books, supplies and instruments: $2,147
Housing and food: $10,139
Travel and personal: $4,166
Student Health Service
The Student Health Service provides comprehensive health care, including hospitalization, for all full-time students in the School of Medicine upon completion of orientation. All full-time students are covered in the prepaid dental plan through Assurant Employee Benefits. Dental premium paid for by WUSM Student Health Service. Long-term group disability insurance is provided for medical students. All full-time students in the School of Medicine are covered by a $10,000 life insurance benefit, with the option to convert to an individual portable policy prior to graduation.
Microscope Lending Plan
Microscopes that meet the technical requirements set by the faculty are provided at no additional charge to each student in the first- and second-year classes. The plan saves students the high cost of microscope purchase and makes available to them a superior quality instrument.

Financial Assistance
The ability to finance a medical education at Washington University does not influence the student selection process. As all students accepted for admission have proven scholastic ability, financial assistance is awarded solely on the basis of documented financial need which cannot be met by student and family resources. Students who consider themselves financially independent of their parents must arrange for loans to replace the amount of support parents are analyzed to have the potential to contribute. The School of Medicine’s Office of Financial Aid (Box 8059) will assist students in making these arrangements.
In responding to the Admissions Committee’s offer of admission, an accepted student may request financial aid application materials. The Financial Aid Office acknowledges the student’s intent and provides instructions for completing the FAFSA. Everyone applying for financial aid must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and designate Washington University School of Medicine, School Code #G24620, as a recipient. Medical school financial aid application documents and detailed instructions will be made available after January 1.
The financial aid application materials solicit information about the applicant and parents, including a detailed description of resources and liabilities. If an applicant’s parents are separated or divorced, the financial information is required from both biological parents (excluding income and assets of their spouse, if remarried). If the applicant is married, similar information is required of the spouse. The School expects the applicant to complete and submit the financial aid documents within two weeks from the date the applicant receives them. Official copies of both biological parents’ and the applicant’s U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns complete the data required for financial aid consideration.
While "permanent residents" of the United States are eligible for most federal financial aid programs, need-based financial aid from Washington is only awarded if the applicant and both biological parents can provide official, audited documents with the same detailed information as provided on a U.S. income tax return. All information is held in strict confidence.
Financial aid awards are credited toward payment of tuition and fees. Proceeds from loans may be disbursed directly to the borrower. The loan portion of an award will be funded through the resources of the School of Medicine or through the federal Stafford Loan program. All loans awarded by the committee are free of interest while a student is enrolled in the School. Financial aid awards are made for a given academic year. Students may reapply for financial assistance in succeeding years if they remain in good academic and personal standing, and if there is continued financial need. Awards made to a student may vary from year to year, depending upon the student’s needs and upon the availability of funds to the Committee. Students are responsible for filing applications for renewal of awards in the spring of each year.
The committee holds that students receiving assistance have an obligation to notify the committee in writing if their financial situation changes, for example, through employment or receipt of a scholarship not anticipated at the time the application was submitted.
First- and second-year students are urged not to accept employment during the academic year. A number of fourth-year students find employment in hospitals within the Medical Center. The personnel office provides assistance to students’ spouses seeking employment.
Full-Tuition Scholarships
In 1978, the School of Medicine established a scholarship program that based selection on merit rather than financial need. As one of the first merit scholarship programs for medical students, the Distinguished Student Scholarship Program has recognized and rewarded academic excellence and personal achievement for 31 years. And, to honor outstanding alumni of Washington University, the Medical Center Alumni Association created in 1989 the Distinguished Alumni Scholarship Program. In 1998, the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Medical Staff Association committed to funding one full-tuition, four-year scholarship to a student in each entering class. Beginning with the 2002-2003 academic year, one additional "named" scholarship was made available through the generosity of a donor.
Most merit-based scholarships are awarded to students in the first-year class and are subject to annual renewal. Recipients of these scholarships are expected to maintain academic excellence. If a scholarship is not renewed, the student may file for financial aid from the School. For scholarship recipients who document financial need above the full-tuition scholarship, additional funds are available to provide support up to the total cost of education. Scholarship recipients may not concurrently participate in the School’s Medical Scientist Training Program, the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program, or the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program.
Now known collectively as the Distinguished Scholars Program, its aim is to attract and enroll the most outstanding students in the School of Medicine, thus enriching the scholarly environment and broadening the scope of learning for all students. Scholarship recipients are selected on intelligence, character, personal accomplishments and goals, motivation for medicine, aptitude for science, leadership potential, communication skills and diversity of life experience. Scholarships awarded under this Program include the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Scholars, Danforth Scholars in Medicine, Distinguished Alumni Scholars (DAS), Distinguished Faculty Scholars (DFS), and Distinguished Student Scholars (DSS).
Barnes-Jewish Hospital Medical Staff Association Scholarship
One full-tuition, four-year scholarship will be awarded to a student in each entering class beginning in 1999. Selection of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Medical Staff Assocation Scholar is the same as for the Distinguished Student Scholarship.
Danforth Scholars in Medicine
Named in honor of William H. and Elizabeth Gray Danforth, the chancellor and first lady of the University from 1971 to 1995, the Danforth Scholars Program is a tribute to their legacy of exemplary leadership and service.
Distinguished Alumni Scholarships
Up to four full-tuition scholarships are awarded annually to members of the entering first-year class. The application procedure and selection process are the same as for the Distinguished Student Scholarships. Since 1989, Distinguished Alumni Scholarships have been named in honor of:

Distinguished Faculty Scholars
The Distinguished Faculty Scholar Program provides merit-based scholarships (full-tuition for four years) to students who demonstrate their commitment to bringing diverse people together and to enhancing service to disadvantaged groups. In addition, it links each of the scholarship recipients with a member of the faculty who has contributed to the diversity of the medical school. This faculty member will serve as a mentor to the scholarship recipient.
These awards are for students who have:
• challenged themselves and excelled academically;
• demonstrated leadership;
• engaged in or shown a commitment to community service;
• demonstrated their commitment to bringing diverse people together (as, for example, by having been involved in diversity
initiatives in their schools or communities); and,
• demonstrated a commitment to serving historically underprivileged populations, and/or demonstrated achievement and
determination in the face of personal challenges.
Distinguished Student Scholarships
Full-tuition Distinguished Student Scholarships are awarded annually to selected members of the entering first-year class based on meritorious academic and personal accomplishments. Final selection of scholarship recipients is made by a committee of the faculty based on demonstrated superior intellectual achievement as well as an assessment of the applicant’s character, attitude, motivation and maturity.
The ability to finance a medical education at Washington University does not influence the student selection process. As all students accepted for admission have proven scholastic ability, financial assistance is awarded solely on the basis of documented financial need which cannot be met by student and family resources.

Standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Eligibility
Federal law and regulations require that all students receiving financial assistance from Federal Title IV funds maintain satisfactory academic progress. The policy presents the standards adopted by the Washington University School of Medicine and applies to all students.
In order to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the maximum time frame of full-time enrollment for completion of each program is as follows:
Four-year MD program: 6 years
Five-year MD program: 7-1/2 years
MA/MD program: 7-1/2 years (or 9 years if a 2-year MA is pursued)
Periods of non-enrollment are NOT counted in the measurement of satisfactory academic progress but all periods of attendance, regardless of whether the student received Title IV aid, are counted.
This policy is applied in the context of each individual student’s enrollment status in order to accommodate the student who does not enroll on a full-time basis. For example, if a student enrolls in a four-year program, the full-time student would meet the 150 percent maximum after six years of full-time enrollment, and the half-time student is expected to complete in twelve years. If a student vacillates between full-time and half-time enrollment, that student would have a maximum time frame between six and 12 years, and the maximum time frame for that student would be continuously adjusted.
Academic requirements for the MD degree include the satisfactory completion of the curriculum designated by the faculty. The progress of each student working toward an MD degree is monitored carefully by the Committee on Academic Evaluation of Students (CAES). Refer to the Assessing Academic Achievement area of the Admissions and Educational Program section.
A student failing to meet the standards of progress as determined by the Committee on Academic Evaluation of Students shall be placed on financial aid probation. While on probation the student may receive financial assistance for one trimester, semester or equivalent time period. At the conclusion of this period, the student must have achieved compliance with each standard. A student who does not achieve compliance with each standard by the conclusion of the probationary period is suspended from financial aid eligibility. The Office of Student Financial Aid must notify a student of implementation of probationary status and/or suspension.
A student shall be reinstated for financial aid eligibility at such time as that student has completed satisfactorily sufficient coursework to meet the standards of progress. A student on financial aid probation or suspension may appeal that status by indicating in writing to the Director of Student Financial Aid the existence of mitigating circumstances which should result in reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. Each appeal will be considered on its merit by the Committee on Student Financial Aid.
The Director of Student Financial Aid shall have primary responsibility for enforcement of this policy. The director shall provide in writing to each student at the time of initial enrollment a copy of this policy. The director shall ascertain at the time of each disbursement of funds and prior to certification of a financial aid application that the student is in compliance with the policy.
