Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine |

|
| The
Primary Care Loan (PCL) program provides long-term,
low interest rate loans to full-time, financially
needy students to pursue a degree in allopathic or
osteopathic medicine. Loans to third and fourth year
students may be increased to repay outstanding
balances on other loans taken out while in
attendance at that school. |
|
| |
Students
receiving a Primary Care Loan must agree to
- Enter and
complete residency training in primary care
within four years after graduation.
- Practice in
primary care for the life of the loan.
|
| |
| OU-HCOM
traditionally receives annual funding from the
Division of Student Assistance at Health and Human
Services. (The college also maintains a rotary fund
with repayments from graduated PCL loan recipients.) The amount of funds from these
sources varies from year to year and dictates how
many students we fund annually in this program. |
| |
|
|
Preference is given to
eligible year 3 and 4 students. Maximum award
amounts are calculated using the cost of attendance
minus the student (and in some cases the parents' expected financial
contribution (taken from the FAFSA)), already awarded
scholarship and grant aid and availability of PCL loan
funding. |
| |
|
|
All interested students
should contact the OU-HCOM financial aid office at
ou-hcom.finaid@ohio.edu or 740-593-2158. Annual
application is required even if the student received
an award in a previous year. |
