Living Expense Refund Request Form

Due to the early academic year start for some dental student populations, Student Financial Services is able to offer an loan advance for living expenses for the available fall 2025 refund in its entirety. This loan advance is not separate from your loan funding, it is merely an advance of the loan funding you anticipate for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Students will still receive their anticipated financial aid awards including any renewal of institutional scholarship funding at a later date and the remainder of any anticipated financial aid for the 2025-2026 academic year will be applied accordingly.

If you would like to request funding to assist with your living expenses please complete the following form. Please read the student consent section carefully as failure to follow all directions and notices can lead to a delay in receiving funding.

By law, these funds cannot be released prior to the start of your programs 2025-2026 academic year.

DMD4: May 19th

Post-Doc: July 1st

Advanced Standing 2: July 14th

DMD3: July 21st

Advanced Standing 1 & DMD1: July 28th

This advance offer is currently available to only Goldman School of Dental Medicine students who have begun their Fall 2025 semester for the 2025-2026 academic year. 

You must create a Nelnet Student Choice Refund profile to receive an advance.  If you are unable to create a profile or receive this payment via a NelNet account, please contact Student Accounts.
