Financial Assistance
Generalist Scholars will be offered up to $10,000 per year non-need based Lawson Generalist Loan. The Lawson Generalist Loan is interest-free during the in-school period and will be applied directly toward payment of tuition and fees. If a student successfully completes the Generalist Scholars Program, graduates from the School of Medicine and matches in a primary care residency, the $10,000 per year Lawson Generalist Loan will be forgiven.
