  1. How to Find Medical School Loans for Caribbean Students over 50

    • 1
      Some American universities have active partnerships with Caribbean nations.

      Decide where you want to focus your search for medical schools. For instance, if you hold dual citizenship with the United States or Great Britain, there may be more medical school financial aid opportunities for citizens of these nations. If you wish to confine your search to medical schools in the Caribbean, private loans may be the primary option. Some universities in the United States have active Caribbean recruitment programs supported with financial aid, where you can study with a student visa.

      Remember to research loans, scholarships, grants and fellowships made available for specific groups, like veterans, single moms or civil servants.

      Research medical school financial aid online according to your specific demographic information. This may include not only Caribbean heritage or age, but status as a single mom or past service as a civil servant. These factors may qualify you for scholarships that you will not have to repay, as you would student loans.

      Consider medical schools outside the Caribbean region.

      Inquire with your nation's ministry of health to learn more about fellowships through the World Health Organization and other foundations committed to equipping global citizens. Also consider programs in Great Britain that offer tuition waivers upon student agreement to return to your nation of origin and serve there.
