Easing the Path to Medical School

Applying to medical school is a big step—and it can come with financial challenges. That’s why the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC), in partnership with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), offers the MCAT Fee Assistance Program to support Canadian students. 

This program is designed to reduce the financial burden of preparing for and taking the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), helping to make medical education more accessible and inclusive.

Eligible applicants can receive several benefits, including:

  • Reduced registration fees for the MCAT.
  • Discounted rescheduling and cancellation rates.
  • Access to the MCAT Official Prep Online-Only Bundle, which includes a variety of study materials to help students prepare effectively.

Who Can Apply?

To qualify for the Fee Assistance Program, applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria, such as:

  • Proof of Canadian residency
  • Documentation of household income and financial need

This ensures that the program supports those who need it most, fostering a more inclusive and diverse medical education environment.
