Financial aid
MD/PhD students typically do not receive financial aid, since tuition and stipend are already covered. However,MD/PhD students MAY BE ELIGIBLE for financial aid when the cost of attendance is greater than the package provided by the school due to a dependent.
MD/PhD students in this situation may be eligible for federal student loans, but NOT for Mount Sinai institutional aid.
