Financing your education depends on the Sackler Program in which you are enrolled.  Please refer to the appropriate section. 

Basic Science Division Students 

Full-time students enrolled in the Basic Science Division of the Sackler School usually receive a full tuition scholarship and a stipend or research assistantship that is designed to cover living and educational costs incurred while enrolled in the Sackler School. No separate financial aid form is required for this school-sponsored financial aid.

Eligible students may also participate in the Federal Family Education Loan to help pay for any unfunded living and educational expenses. The Tufts University School of Medicine Financial Aid Office, located on the 8th floor of the Sackler Building at 145 Harrison Avenue assists Sackler students with the application process.  They can be contacted at 617-636-6574.

Clinical Research Division Students

Clinical Research Division students are often affiliated with various clinical and research fellowship training programs at Tufts Medical Center and financial support for participants’ tuition, stipend, fees and insurance are typically provided through federally-funded grants and other resources from within these fellowship training programs. Typically, the Sackler School provides a tuition scholarship for the difference between the value of a tuition allowance on an NIH training grant and the full-time tuition cost. The fellowship stipends vary according to the post-graduate levels of the participants and the available training funds.

Applicants interested in the Clinical Research Program must complete a Sackler application form in addition to their specified department’s fellowship application. To be considered for tuition funds from the Sackler School, applicants should mark the appropriate boxes on the application for admission and discuss available funding at the time of their departmental interview. No separate financial aid form is required for this school-sponsored financial aid.
