The Office of Financial Aid at ASU’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering provides counseling and guidance to help students make smart, sustainable financial choices. We are committed to supporting our medical students, not just in meeting their immediate financial obligations, but in developing responsible financial habits that continue to pay off long after graduation.
