I've got my eyes set on Hunter College's pre-med program, but I'm stressing about costs. Are there specific scholarships for pre-med students at Hunter? Any past or current students who can share insights or experiences?
While Hunter College itself does offer a variety of scholarship opportunities, there aren't any scholarships that are specifically designed for its pre-med students. Nevertheless, pre-med students can still apply for general scholarships offered by the college. This includes options like the Freshman Scholar Program, the Jenny Hunter Scholarship, and the SEEK Program, among others.
Additionally, it's a good idea to look beyond the college for scholarship opportunities. For instance, you could look into various national pre-med scholarships. Consider these options:
1. The Tylenol Future Care scholarship, awarded to students who are pursuing careers in healthcare.
2. The Pre-Med/Pre-Health Scholarship by the Physicians Medical Forum.
3. The Physicians of Tomorrow Awards by the American Medical Association.
Keep in mind that scholarships are just one part of the financial aid picture. You can also check the Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that would count towards your student aid index (SAI). An SAI that falls below the threshold could make you eligible for grants, work-study opportunities, and loans.
Also, remember to apply early and keep an eye on deadlines. Every bit of financial assistance can make a difference in reducing the overall cost of your education. Good luck!
