At Saba, we are committed to making your payment process as clear and hassle-free as possible.


According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, the per-semester tuition at public medical schools in the U.S. now exceeds $25,000. The cost has risen so high that most students must seek additional financing beyond what they can obtain through federal loan programs, such as Stafford Loans.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENTS

All students are responsible for payment of tuition and fees in U.S. funds, by wire, personal check, bank check or money order, one month prior to matriculation into each new semester, whether in the Basic Sciences or Clinical Medicine Program.

All students entering into first semester must pay tuition 45 days prior to matriculation.

If payment is made by check, the cancelled check will serve as the student’s receipt. If a student remits a payment check that is returned because of insufficient funds, he or she must make any future payments to the Institution in the form of a U.S. bank check or money order. Payment of all tuition and fees is due in full by the due date specified on the student bill. A returned check fee of $35.00 will be imposed for a personal check returned not honored.

Student health insurance

Students at Saba are required to carry health insurance coverage for the duration of their medical school program. Proof of coverage is necessary upon matriculation and is often required by hospitals prior to students beginning a clinical rotation.
