Tuition and Financial Aid

We understand that meeting the costs of medical school is a major investment and that many students do not have the immediate financial resources to cover the substantial costs of a medical education.

Tuition and Fees

A full breakdown of cost and fees is available via the Tuition page on the Education site.

Student Debt

The mean education debt for Feinberg’s graduating Class of 2017 was $181,463. For reference, the graduating Class of 2017 national mean medical education debt was $206,204 for private schools.

Financial Aid

Because of the exceptional financial investment of medical education, Feinberg is committed to providing a comprehensive financial aid package designed to assist you with the cost of your investment. FSM will offer eligible students federal loan assistance, less any other aid received, to cover up to 100 percent of financial need as determined by our financial aid analysis for federal aid. Financial aid packages may include any of the following types of assistance:

• Federal student loans
• Need-based grants
• Merit-based scholarships
