Financial Aid
We know that it is a major decision to pursue a graduate education. Graduate students may receive financial assistance through loans, assistantships, scholarships, or fellowships. You also have access to one-on-one and group financial aid counseling through the School of Medicine – Columbia. Many of our graduate students choose to work directly with the University of South Carolina's main campus financial aid office. The Office of Financial Aid provides a full breakdown of the estimated cost to attend the University of South Carolina for all students.
