Financial Aid
We are able to keep our tuition extremely low because our program is uniquely located at an academic medical center rather than within a university. Financial aid is not available through Baystate.
However, current student loans are eligible for deferral while you are in the program. In addition, if you are completing your master’s degree through Thomas Jefferson University, you may be eligible for student loans through that institution.
