• Outpatient ambulatory benefits
• Mental health benefits (minimum of 50 percent reimbursement)
• Substance abuse coverage
• Out-of-pocket loss maximum of $2,000 per year plus deductible

Financial Aid

The MCG Office of Student Financial Aid assists students in financing their education. Financial assistance includes loans, scholarships and part-time employment. Non-federal scholarships administered by MCG are awarded by the School of Medicine Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship Committee meets from January through August to select recipients from each of the four School of Medicine classes.

Financial aid application materials and additional related information are available at www.mcg.edu/students/finaid.

Students should apply for financial aid by completing a FAFSA application at www.fafsa.ed.gov as soon as possible after Jan. 1. The online MCG financial aid application is accessible to accepted students and required for student aid. Applications will be processed when the student’s file is complete and the student is registered for class.
