How to Apply for Financial Aid

At Einstein College of Medicine, we want to make the application process for financial aid as simple as possible. Whether you are a student in our M.D. program who needs financial aid to help pay for cost of living expenses beyond tuition and fees covered by the David S. and Ruth L. Gottesman Scholarship Fund or a student in one of Einstein’s graduate biomedical science programs or master’s degree programs, we recommend you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible so that the broadest range of funds is available.

To complete the FAFSA, you must submit financial information about yourself, your parents, and if applicable your spouse. We consider your entire household financial situation when determining the appropriate financial aid package. The following items are required for all students:

•    filing your federal income tax returns
•    filing your W-2 form(s)
•    Albert Einstein College of Medicine FAFSA Institutional Code: 042797
•    Federal Student Aid identification number (FSA ID) issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Office

All students who wish to be considered for federal loans must complete a master promissory note  and loan entrance counseling from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid.
