Financial Support for Your School of Medicine Journey

LAU is committed to supporting medical school students throughout their academic journey by providing access to financial assistance and scholarship opportunities that help ease the cost of medical education.

Explore the available opportunities and discover the support that can help you focus on your education and future as a healthcare professional.

Need-Based Financial Aid

Grants are awarded to students who demonstrate financial need and require assistance in meeting the cost of their education.

Educational Loans are an optional source of funding available to students who have been awarded financial aid. They are designed to supplement the financial aid package and may cover up to 40% of tuition fees. No interest is charged while the student is enrolled at LAU. After a six-month grace period following graduation, any unpaid balance becomes subject to interest at a preferential rate established by the University’s loan program. Students interested in learning more about educational loans are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office for additional information and guidance.

Financial Aid Deadlines

Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid as soon as they receive their LAU School of Medicine credentials. They should not wait until they receive their acceptance letter to apply. Applying early helps ensure that their financial aid decision is ready as soon as they are admitted.

Financial Aid Deadline: March 31, 2027

Start Your Financial Aid Journey

Step 1: Review the application instructions carefully before starting your application.

Step 2: Complete the financial aid application with the assistance of a parent or legal guardian and submit it electronically. Start preparing the required supporting documents.

Step 3: Print the completed application, then submit it in person, along with all required supporting documents, to the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office by the stated deadline.

Step 4:  Once your application and supporting documents have been received and reviewed, the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office will schedule an interview with one of your parents or legal guardians to discuss the family’s financial circumstances.

Medical School Scholarships

The School of Medicine awards Merit Scholarships to outstanding applicants in each entering class based on established academic criteria. Scholarships may cover between 25% and 100% of tuition costs. No separate scholarship application is required. Eligible applicants are automatically considered, and the selection is managed directly by the School of Medicine.

Canadian Provincial Aid

Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be eligible for financial assistance through the student aid program of their province or territory of residence. Each province and territory has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and funding options. Assistance may help cover educational expenses such as tuition, books, supplies, mandatory fees, and living costs.

Students should contact the student aid office in their province or territory to determine their eligibility for grants and loans and to obtain information on the application process.

Certain forms must be completed by the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office at LAU to provide the relevant student aid authority with information about the student’s academic program and to confirm enrollment.

Please note that the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office at LAU does not participate in the application review, eligibility assessment, or funding decisions. The office’s role is limited to completing the required institutional forms and, when requested, confirming the student’s enrollment or academic progress.

Explore External Funding Opportunities Through Our Generous Benefactors:

In addition to LAU-funded financial aid and scholarships, students may be eligible for external scholarships sponsored by partner organizations and generous benefactors. These opportunities provide additional funding to support students throughout their academic journey.
