Medical school is expensive and many medical students need financial aid to afford it. US News and World Report has come up with two lists of medical schools which give the most aid; one identifies public schools and the other lists private schools. Of course, public schools are typically very hard to get into if one isn’t a resident of that particular state; keep that in mind when looking over the list of public schools.
Top 10 public medical schools awarding the most financial aid:
- University of Central Florida
- Ohio State
- University of California—Davis
- Oregon Health and Science University
- University of California—Los Angeles
- University of South Dakota
- Medical College of Georgia
- University of Kansas
- Oklahoma State
- University of Iowa
Top 10 private schools awarding the most financial aid:
