Requesting Additional Travel Money for Residency Interview Expenses

Fourth year medical students are permitted to borrow an additional amount in federal student loans for anticipated residency and interview expenses. We currently automatically allot $5,000 in the fall term of the 4th year financial aid cost of attendance for these expenses. If expenses exceed this allotment, students can request an additional increase of up to an additional $5,000 for a total of $10,000. To receive the additional $5,000, the student must provide in excel format the following:

• Location of expected interviews – City, State and Hospital Name
• Expected travel dates
• Travel expenses - limited to airfare, taxi, rental car, lodging and gasoline
