Financial Aid for US citizens
Financial Aid for US citizens
Medical University of Lublin (MUL) understands that planning how you are going to pay for your medical education is an important and sometimes daunting process. While most of our students use a combination of family contribution, private grants, and scholarships, some students also consider student loan programs as an option to pay for part or all of their educational expenses. It is advisable for all students, including those who have applied for financial aid, to bring sufficient funds with them to cover their initial month's living expenses. The Financial Aid Office (FAO) is in the Dean's Office. The FAO staff is well-versed in the proper management of several financial assistance programs that may be available to you. To supplement our efforts, we provide convenient electronic processing of loans through our Virtual Financial Aid Office. Contact information for our Financial Aid Office is Lublin.loans@umlub.edu.pl.
Welcome Students from the United States and Canada
Available loan programs for US students
U.S. Federal Direct Loans:
The Medical University of Lublin (MUL) participates in the U.S. William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (“Direct Loans”) for U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens. Students accepted for admission to the Medical University of Lublin and those who are enrolled at least half time and maintain standards of satisfactory academic progress may apply for Direct Loans to meet direct and indirect educational expenses. The maximum loan amount for which a student is eligible may not exceed the cost of attendance for the academic period in which the student is enrolled, as defined by MUL. The Cost of Attendance can be found under the Student Consumer Information section of this website. The following information has been designed to assist students in understanding the Federal Direct Loan program and provides a step by step guide to the application process at MUL.
Private Education Loans:
Sallie Mae Medical School LoanSM
Sallie Mae offers Medical University of Lublin students a private loan especially designed for medical students. These loans may be competitive in interest and fees with the PLUS and GRAD PLUS loans in some circumstances. The interest charged on these loans varies according to the borrower’s credit rating. In many instances, students find it financially advantageous to provide a cosigner or endorser on the loan application. You can find out more about these loans at https://www.salliemae.com/student-loans/graduate-student-loans/medical-school-loan/
Although other private lenders offer US students credit based loans, at this time, it is our understanding that only Sallie Mae offers their private loans to U.S. students studying outside of the United States.
