Scholarships. Besides excellent grades, you need these five things: leadership ability, community service, a job, "scholarship-friendly" hobby/activity (chess, astronomy, debate, musical instrument, etc.) and involvement in something physical - a sport. They're like five fingers on a hand, if you have all five, you'll get scholarships. Your applications must be pristine, no spelling or grammatical errors, and you'll need letters of recommendation from your high school principal, coach, employer, volunteer supervisor, etc. Student loans and income from working summers will have to take care of the rest. Remember: If you can't afford to go there, you need to prove that you belong there.

I pray to god you dont intend to act like dr. house...
Now to asnwer your question: get a loan. I dont have the money to afford med school either, but that wont stop me. In fact I believe that not many ppl can afford med school, but its not a problem because you can pay it off after you graduate, when you will be making lots of money. Medical school also help their students with financial aid, because if you do get in, they know that you have a potential to be a good doctor.

Medical school is expensive. You can take out loans, though. Also, apply for scholarships and grants. It will take time and effort, but you must not be afraid of that if you are willing to spend years in medical school, internship and residency.
You have to have an undergraduate degree first, before you can go to medical school. Your university's financial aid office can help guide you to sources of funding for medical school.
Good luck. Oh, and proofread your essays for spelling and grammar mistakes before you submit them with your application to med school! They don't bother running you through English classes once you have a Bachelors and if you have mistakes in your essays, the admissions committee won't look at you twice. Med school is competitive.

plan on some 200,000 plus for college, med school and then internship and resident fees living expenses and the like. the ability to get a loan is going to be based on your grades and what money your going to pony up. scholarships are going to students with best grades or those showing a particular drive in some area, there are programs that will pick up costs if you are willing to work in low income, indian or other type of health clinics. you might also consider a steping stone type of approach, perhaps get an emergency tech degree, work for awhile, see if you like it, go on and get a nursing degree, a physician assistant and then doctors, sort of a pay as you go plan.

Assuming you can get in (your question makes that possibility highly suspect), you take loans. Most med students have to take loans to pay for med school. It's like that for most grad students.
Scholarships are a lot more rare at the grad school level. Don't count on any of those. You live off of loans.

Yes, med school is outrageously expensive - if you are an excellent student there are lots of scholarships available and there is always government loans.
Hey - ignore the two posts above! I think it is absolutely wonderful that you are already thinking about your future! Good for you!

Another option is contacting your local armed forces medical recruiting officer. Many services (ie the US) will pay a portion or all of your medical cost in return for a duty commitment. (Just be prepared to serve.)

well since you are like in middle school or something worry about getting through that first. and nowadays you can get scholarships, grants, loans. you HAVE to keep your grades up though and if you get the loans you start paying them back 6 months after you graduate.

You need to finish H.S. and concentrate on spelling in your senior year or sooner. If you have no money then you are out of luck on applying for med school.
