In keeping with our pledge to make medical school affordable, we award partial scholarships to one-quarter of our incoming medical students.
We base these scholarships on demonstrated need, academic merit and community engagement. The FAFSA application is a requirement and should be completed by June 1 for incoming first year medical students. Current medical students should update their FAFSA annually, preferably by October 1.
The Jacobs School has numerous scholarship opportunities for medical students. The UB Scholarship Portal — where you can create or update your profile — enables you to review criteria and apply for scholarships that are open for submission.
This program provides partial tuition waivers to full-time medical students who are determined to have exceptional need. New York State and participating educational institutions fund the program.
