If you are looking to get loans for Caribbean Medical Schools I am sure until now you couldn't find any solution. I went through the same thing. I am a Caribbean Medical School graduate and on my 3rd of Clinical Clerkship. While I was doing my basic sciences I wanted to get loans to pay for the tuition. I called up so many American companies who usually offers loans to the American medical students but they rejected me because of being with Caribbean Medical School. Basically, American federal loans are not available for Caribbean Medical School. But there are ways you can still get loans for the Caribbean medical schools. Now you might ask how is it possible to get loans?

Well it is easy. I signed up for the Online Master's program through Walden University. All of their assignments are sent through online and you basically submit them through online also. You don't need to go to classes. That's the Master's part. Now since Walden University is part of the American Education Board, you can apply for loans just like an American Medical School. Usually they offer 3 semesters per year. You can take as many classes as you want but I would recommend take only one class per semester. This way you will be able to focus on your medical school's studies.  Now you might ask how hard is it? It really depends on what classes and programs you are taking. I would say sign up for a easy program like Master's in Health Administration or Master's in Sociology. These are easy programs you will be easily getting A's. Most of the assignments are usually writing assignments. Now if you don't like writing don't get discouraged. Think about it. You will be able to get loans to pay off your medical school's tuition. So it's worth the hard work.

So, once you are accept how do you get loans? Well, I will say if you take 1 class per semester then their tuition per semester would be around $1500 to $2000. But you can apply for the maximum loan per semester which is around $10,000 to $12,000. You can easily pay for the Master's program and keep the rest to pay for your medical school. Application process is pretty simple. It is just like applying to any other American Universities. You can call them up and start your application today. Best of Luck!

Urbana University is another University,  that offers online Master's program. You can attend their Master's program to pay for your medical school's expenses. Many AUA students use Urbana University's Online Master's Program to pay for their school. But, Urbana University is not just limited to AUA, anyone can attend their Master's program. Most of the students sign up for the healthcare management program. The work load is not too crazy. All the assignments are submitted through blackboard so you wouldn't need to go to the campus. You can do all the assignments from your house as long as you a internet connection. Not only that, you will have enough time to study for your medical school. The admission requirements are also the same as other online Master's program. Please see my other posts about the admission process. 

What I like about Urbana University is that they are open about their Master's program. Which means you can call them up and say that you attend a medical school in Caribbean and would like to apply for the online Master's program. But, I wouldn't recommend you to say that. Just call them up and ask for the application process. As long as you have a Bachelor's degree done you should have no problem applying for the Online Master's program. The acceptance process is very smooth and will take only few days. Once you are accepted you should be able to apply for the federal loans. Once you get the loans, after paying for your  online master's program you will have enough money left to pay for your med school. Good luck with the process!
