Albert Einstein College of Medicine

What is the cost of studying for a year at Albert Einstein College of Medicine?

Tuition is free for students in Einstein's MD program following the tuition-funding gift announced in 2024. Free tuition does not mean attendance is free: medical students still need to plan for housing, food, transportation, books or equipment, health coverage, and other personal and educational expenses.

Federal reporting for 2024-25 lists graduate tuition of $50,000 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with reported required graduate fees of $0. Those historical, institution-level figures should not be treated as the current tuition bill for an MD student. They also should not be combined with living-cost figures from another year to produce a supposed current annual total. Charges and funding for a PhD or another graduate program must be checked under that program's own terms.

Eligible MD students may use financial aid to address living and other allowable costs. Graduate researchers may have program-based funding arrangements. An applicant's useful comparison is the current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget minus confirmed grants or other assistance - not the published tuition figure alone. For eligible students, federal graduate loans and applicable military education benefits may also be relevant, subject to each program's rules.

What are the work-study opportunities at Albert Einstein College of Medicine?

Einstein's most relevant paid opportunities vary by degree. Biomedical PhD training may include funded research appointments or stipends arranged through the graduate program, while medical students should distinguish paid work from supervised clinical education, which is part of their degree.

Federal Work-Study is a need-based student employment program, not a grant paid merely for enrollment. A student should not assume an award or a job is available without confirmation in their financial aid package and an eligible position. Research assistantships, institutional jobs, internships, and residency training have different purposes and pay arrangements. Students considering outside employment should also weigh the time demands of laboratory work, clinical rotations, and required coursework.
