New York Medical College (NYMC) provides funding for scholarships and need-based grants for a limited number of qualified students. These funds are provided from NYMC funds and contributions to the school, in particular, from alumni. Eligible students must be in good academic standing and or demonstrate need.
Admissions scholarships are awarded to advance programmatic or strategic initiatives of the College, which can change from year to year. A scholarship award may be made for one or a maximum of four years depending on the type of scholarship. Scholarships are subject to change based on financial awards made from other NYMC sources.
Need-Based Grants are awarded based on demonstrated financial need on an annual basis. Applications may be submitted each academic year. Eligibility for consideration for receipt of a NBG requires:

NYMC admissions scholarships and NBG may not exceed a total of $30,000. This is to ensure more students can receive need-based funds, which is a limited resource. NBG offers may be reduced or removed so combined funding does not exceed $30,000.
