At NYU Grossman School of Medicine, we’re excited to welcome the Class of 2026, a dynamic, accomplished, and diverse cohort who will no doubt have a positive impact on the field of medicine. And we’re proud to say that every single student was awarded a Full-Tuition Scholarship as part of our continued commitment to decreasing the debt burden among aspiring physicians. For the Class of 2023, only 30 percent of students graduated with medical educational debt, with the average debt being $75,844, far below both the national average rate and amount of debt for medical students.
