Johns Hopkins will offer full cost-of-attendance financial aid packages (including tuition, living expenses and fees) for medical students whose families earn less than $175,000. Additionally, families earning less than $300,000 will receive scholarships that cover the cost of tuition. This program goes into effect immediately; eligible new and returning medical students are receiving updated financial aid packages that reflect the gift’s impact.
As with all Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine financial aid, incoming and continuing medical students who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, undocumented or DACA are eligible for the program. M.D./Ph.D. and international medical students have separate funding sources to support their medical education at Johns Hopkins, and are not covered by this program. (If extenuating circumstances arise, a student completing the M.D. portion of their dual degree can contact the Office of Financial Aid to explore additional funding possibilities.) Students will not have to reapply every year because awards will be automatically renewed and adjusted to reflect the new cost of attendance and tuition fees. Families (parents, current students and spouses) will need to submit tax returns annually to the Office of Financial Aid.
