I personally do not study medicine, but I do have some tips for saving money. Apply to scholarships! keep up with the emails your University sends you because some of them are open to the students at your school specifically, but most of them are very easy applications. Additionally, work a part time job when you still have the chance to, and open a savings account as early as possible! Hope this helps!!

First thing, do your best in high school to achieve good grades so that you may be eligible for a partial or full scholarship. I also recommend getting your associates degree from a community college instead of jumping right into a four year college or university. You can save lots of money during those first 2 years and also expose yourself to science classes to see if you really are interested in this career path without spending as much money to do it. After 2 years, if you have gotten good grades, you may be eligible for a scholarship to get your bachelors degree at a college or university. Additionally, make sure you understand how much debt you are taking on. When you initially sign up for loans through the financial aid office, most people don't think much about it because they don't have to pay it off yet. Make sure you are comfortable with how much debt you will have in the future.

In addition to scholarships, look into any government grants you may qualify for. Also when it comes to student loans, it is really exciting to finally have access to cash, but take out the bare minimum of what you need. Try to get a part time job or internship to pay for housing and other expenses, relying on student loans for only school if possible. Internships are preferred because they are also a resume booster that will help you get a better job when you graduate. I also know for doctors the government has programs that they will dismiss some of your student loans if you work in rural areas. Look into that as an option as well.
