The award approval for the Fee Assistance Program is tied directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ poverty guidelines. In 2024, you are eligible for fee assistance if each household reported on your application (yours and your parents, as applicable) reports a 2023 total family income equal to or less than 400% of the 2023 national poverty level for your family size. Refer to the AAMC website for the specific Fee Assistance Program Income Guidelines.
