St. George University School of Medicine Tuition

Caribbean students are typically saddled with higher debt than medical students in the United States, in part because tuition is generally higher.

The high costs of private medical education is a concern for many students. St. George’s University’s School of Medicine is approved for its students to participate in the US Direct Loan Program and, in addition, the School of Medicine offers a variety of scholarships to help defray the costs of medical education.

In fact, approximately 80% of the students in the School of Medicine use financial aid to pay for part or all of their medical school costs.
