Tuition & Financial Aid
We understand that meeting the costs of medical school is a major investment and that many students do not have the immediate financial resources to cover the substantial costs of a medical education.
Tuition & Fees
A full breakdown of cost and fees is available via the MD Education site's tuition page.

The mean education debt for Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine’s 2023 graduating class was $203,195. For reference, the graduating Class of 2023 national mean medical education debt was $222,381 for private schools.
Financial Aid
Because of the exceptional financial investment of medical education, Feinberg is committed to providing a comprehensive financial aid package designed to assist you with the cost of your investment.
