Is there such a thing as an International Med Student Grant?

Question

I wanted to know if an international med student who is about to go for their clinical rotations in america has any financial options other than having to get a bank loan. Are there any grants or scholarships that can help pay for clinical rotations or any expenses that may occur?

Answer 1

Medical school is considered in the United States to be graduate school. Once a student completes his or her bachelor's degree, the state and federal grants are no longer in existance which means only student loans. However, there are a limited number of scholarships available, but they are pretty competitive. I will list some free sources to locate scholarship money for medical school. Good luck!
