Harvard Medical School has one of the most generous MD financial aid programs in the country. On average, the HMS Financial Aid Office administers over $40 million in loans, employment, and scholarship funding from various federal, private, and school sources to approximately 73 percent of the HMS student body.
HST students pursuing an MD-PhD should consult with the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program.
HST MD students often supplement their financial support working for pay as an hourly HMS Teaching Fellow (TF) and/or a salaried Research Assistant (RA), supervised by a course director or research supervisor. Both positions are administered thru the HST Office at HMS and subject to Harvard policy.
