Not Retroactive

Fee Assistance Program benefits are not retroactive. In addition, benefits will not be applied until after your Fee Assistance Program benefits have been awarded. Please be aware that:

  • No refunds will be issued for any fees you paid before your Fee Assistance Program application was approved.
  • You may not use your awarded medical school designations if you submit your AMCAS application before your Fee Assistance Program application is approved.
  • The AAMC is not responsible for any MCAT or PREview registration deadlines or medical school application deadlines you might miss while waiting for the review of your Fee Assistance Program application. If you have questions about whether your Fee Assistance Program benefits will be applied, contact the AAMC before making a purchase.
