Financial Education

Medical school is known to take a financial toll, yet with thoughtful planning and support, achieving your financial goals and maintaining financial security is possible as a medical student. Our goal is to develop a 10-year financial plan for every Carle Illinois student that incorporates the affordability of medical school, wealth management, and financial goals (i.e., retirement), enabling you to plan for a secure financial present and future. For more information, please feel free to contact our student affairs team. We’re here to help.
