Disadvantaged Student Eligibility |
The Office of Student Financial Services at UTHSC-H awards
qualified applicants assistance from the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in the form of
loans for disadvantaged students in the medical and
dental (DDS) programs. The DHHS definition of economically
'disadvantaged' student is based on 200 percent of the
Department's poverty guidelines. The guidelines, which apply
regardless of student's age, independent/dependent,
or marital status, are as follows:
