Financial Aid is available for all residents who apply and is awarded through the school. Residents also receive a monthly stipend from GME grants. The following is an estimate of the amount of aid a resident can expect each year during their residency. These numbers may change from year to year, and school policy may change at any time, resulting in more or less money. These numbers are based off of the 2007-2008 academic year awards.
Unsubsidized Stafford ..... $18,500
Graduate Plus .................. $18,000
Monthly Stipend .............. $1,083.33
(available for citizens and permanent residents of the United States)
**Additional funds can be obtained through private lenders not affliated with the school in any way.
There is no tuition paid to the Health Center for the endodontic residency. However, tuition is paid to the University of Connecticut Storrs campus for graduate courses leading to the Master's degree. Tuition is charged per credit hour and there is a difference in cost for in-state vs. out-of-state students. Out-of-state residents may gain in-state status after one year. Most graduate courses can be taken during the second and third year of the residency.
All materials and instruments are provided by the Health Center and residents are not required to purchase any items prior to treating patients in the endodontic clinic.
A yearly clinic fee is the only charge to the resident.
Health Insurance may be purchased through the school. Spouses and children can be added for an additional fee. The insurance is through Anthem Blue Care. An exact description of the health care benefits are given at resident orientation in July.
