Financial Aid

Although expenses at Albert Einstein College of Medicine will vary from student to student, the college bases its decisions regarding awarding financial aid on student eligibility for Federal Aid and cost-of-attendance estimates, or "budgets." Students are assigned a budget based on their academic program and class level. The budget includes all reasonable expenses the student might expect to incur. In addition, the budget consists of tuition and fees, health insurance, average housing expenses, money for food and other everyday expenditures, and money for personal expenses. Following are the estimated average costs for a medical student for the 2024-25 academic year.
