Tuition and Scholarships
Tuition
The tuition and scholarship guidelines will follow the current practice of the undergraduate curriculum for medicine and the individual graduate school programs. MD/PhD Students will be subject to the tuition fees for the program in which they are enrolled during any given session of their 7-year study. During the sessions of full-time graduate studies, the reasearch supervisor will provide their students with a stipend from operating grants.
Scholarships
