Before you complete an AMCAS application, review the eligibility requirements for the AAMC Fee Assistance Program. If you are eligible, you must submit a completed Fee Assistance Program application before you submit your AMCAS application.
- The AMCAS application benefit includes a waiver of fees for one (1) submission, covering up to 20 medical school designations, submitted by Dec. 31, 2026.
- Fee Assistance Program benefits are not retroactive. You will not be able to use your awarded medical school designations if your AMCAS application was submitted before your Fee Assistance Program FAP application was approved.
- Unused medical school designations do not carry over to the next AMCAS application cycle, even if the next cycle falls before Dec. 31 of the next year, after you’'ve been awarded.
