Dear Applicants to the College of Medicine: If you believe that you will need financial aid, we strongly suggest that you begin by applying through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The federal website address is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and our school code is 001083. Students who apply by the priority service date are considered by the University of Arizona for grant funds in addition to loans; it also insures sufficient time for the financial aid office to prepare your aid for our College of Medicine start date for Fall 2008. Apply while you are waiting for a decision on your application for admission. To be considered for all types of aid at the University of Arizona, your FAFSA application must be received at the federal processor by March 1, 2008. We suggest you "Give Yourself a Valentine" and apply by February 14 to allow for mail time, heavy website traffic, or other delays. Please review our website for information about the aid process, various state and federal aid programs, scholarship programs, and educational loan programs. Upon your notice of acceptance, submit other applications to the College of Medicine Financial Aid Office. Use the Financial Aid Checklist and note your completed applications and dates mailed or delivered. We wish you well in your pursuit of a medical education. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us in the College of Medicine Financial Aid Office at (520) 626-7145 or by emailing mdfinaid@email.arizona.edu. Sincerely, Maggie Gumble Associate Director |
