Residency and Relocation Expenses

RESIDENCY AND RELOCATION LOANS

Residency and relocation loans can be utilized to help pay for travel costs associated with residency interviews, and relocation-related expenses.

Residency and relocation loans do not require school certification, Therefore,  you no longer need to submit Cost of Attendance appeals, save receipts, and compile expenses to increase your cost of attendance to apply for additional loan funds.

Review possible loan options through the ELM Select portal.
