We Are Here to Help
You've made a smart decision to further your education and pursue your passion. The commitment, time and money you invest at St. Matthew's University during the next few years will surely pay off!
Since its founding in 1997, St. Matthew's University has always been able to offer a cost-effective tuition when compared to other medical schools. At the same time, it has been able to maintain its rigorous academic and professional standards, making it a wise choice for those dreaming of becoming a physician or veterinarian.
The Office of Financial Aid is here to assist enrolled students with their debt management and consolidation options after residency. We are also here to help you avoid possible pitfalls that can come from dealing with money and finances.
Loans, if available, and scholarships assist you with funding the cost of your education. Please ensure that you apply for financial aid programs at least fourty-five days prior to your tuition due date.
Students must make a realistic assessment of their financial situation prior to coming to the island. When devising a budget, students should consider the following expenses:
»Tuition
»Utilities
»Health insurance
»Books
»Phone
»Evacuation insurance
»Equipment
»Internet
»Personal expenses
»Room and Board
»Transportation
A semester is four months long and it is easier to devise a "semester budget" to go along with the receipt of your loans. Remember - loans must be paid back, so only borrow what you need. Most lenders defer payment while the student is in school and for up to four years into residency.
