Tuition Back Guarantee Policy
We have a strong tradition of assisting aspiring medical students in building the foundation they need to be successful in medical school and to achieve their dreams of becoming physicians. Our entire focus is on your success.
That is why MERP offers a tuition back guarantee. If at any point you decide medical school is not for you, or you do not pass the program, your tuition will be fully refunded. Students who have taken out a private loan will have their tuition refunded back to the loan provider.
Students who attend MERP semester Orientation in December 2022 or later and decide to withdraw early or do not achieve passing grades, regardless of whether they complete the program, are eligible for the $9,500 tuition back guarantee policy and will be refunded tuition only and will still be responsible for administrative fee of $4,000.

Additional Details
Students who attend MERP semester Orientation prior to December 2022 and decide to withdraw early or do not achieve passing grades, regardless of whether they complete the program, are eligible for the tuition back guarantee policy and will be refunded the $13,500 cost of tuition.
The refund is limited to program tuition-only and does not reimburse the costs of the estimated administrative fee or laptop devices, books and supplies incurred. Students who have taken out a private loan will have their tuition refunded back to the loan provider. Funds must be returned to the lender within 60 days upon the conclusion of the semester. Students are responsible for paying any interest on loans, even if their tuition is refunded.
The purpose of MERP is to prepare enrollees to be successful medical students. Students accepted into this program will not be awarded any kind of degree or credential other than a certificate of completion. However, we believe that students who successfully complete the program will be prepared for the challenge of medical school.
