Outside Sources of Aid

Students are expected to notify the SMHS Office of Financial Aid when an outside award is received. Federal regulations and school policy require that the financial aid award be adjusted when a student receives outside aid. Some scholarships provide substantial financial support in return for a service commitment. Sometimes, when such an award is accepted, all GW MD Program scholarships to the student are rescinded, as in the case of HPSP and NHSC scholarships.  Loans may be obtained only for the difference between the award and the school budget, less the recipient's expected resources. Should you require a letter of good standing, please request this from your Career Advisory Dean or the MD Program Registrar.
