Dental Students

As the cost of going to dental school continues to increase dramatically, students have been applying for financial assistance, including loans, in greater numbers than ever before. According to a 2003-2004 Survey of Dental Student Financial Assistance, conducted by Jacqueline E. Chmar, B.A, Richard G. Weaver, D.D.S, and Richard W. Valachovic, D.M.D., M.P.H., fewer than 10 percent of dental students were able to finance their education without financial assistance in 2003-2004 - and nearly 90 percent of all assistance was in the form of student loans.

In addition, a recent study from the ADA Office of Student Affairs reports that over 91 percent of dental students graduate with debt - owing an average of more than $141,521. So whether you're currently applying to dental school, or are already enrolled in a program, it's not too early to take your loan selection seriously. Graduate Leverage and your Financial Aid Office can help make sure that you're choosing the best loan for you.
