How to Apply to Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and Find Admissions & Financial Aid Information

Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) in Atlanta handles applications through its Admissions section, where you'll find program-specific application guidance, links to the Financial Aid office, and the Office of the Registrar. Start at the Admissions Home page to confirm which program you're applying to, then follow that program's requirements and deadlines. MSM offers M.D., graduate biomedical sciences and public health degrees, dual-degree programs, online and continuing education, and pipeline programs, so the exact application route depends on your target program.

Step 1: Identify your program before you apply

MSM's admissions pages are organized by program type. The site lists these pathways:

Confirm the exact program name on the Admissions Home page, because each program sets its own application requirements and deadlines.

Step 2: Go to the Admissions section

From the main navigation, open Admissions → Admissions Home. This is the hub for:

• Applying to MSM — application instructions for each program
• Financial Aid — the office that handles funding questions for admitted and prospective students
• Office of the Registrar — records, registration, and enrollment matters

If you're unsure which program fits your background, the Pipeline Programs page describes preparatory pathways, and the Office of Individualized Learning & Accessibility Services is listed for accessibility-related needs.

Step 3: Prepare your application materials

Application requirements vary by program, so use the specific program page as your checklist. In general, expect to provide:

1. Program selection — the exact degree or certificate you're pursuing.
2. Academic records — transcripts submitted through the process described on your program's page.
3. Program-specific materials — essays, letters of recommendation, or test scores as required by that program.
4. Submission — follow the application link and deadline listed for your program.

Verify before submitting

• Re-check the deadline on your program's own page, not a general admissions page.
• Confirm whether your program uses a centralized application service or a direct MSM application — the site directs applicants per program.
• Keep copies of submitted materials and confirmation emails.

Step 4: Connect with Financial Aid early

The Financial Aid office is listed under Admissions. Contact it alongside your application rather than after acceptance, so you understand funding options and any aid-related forms before deadlines. The site does not publish tuition figures or aid amounts on the pages reviewed here, so request current cost and aid information directly from the Financial Aid office.

Step 5: Use the right contact point

Common snags

• Applying to the wrong program page. MSM's graduate offerings are numerous and similarly named (e.g., M.S. in Biomedical Research vs. M.S. in Medical Sciences). Read the program description before starting.
• Missing program-specific requirements. General admissions guidance won't list every requirement; the program page will.
• Waiting on financial aid. Start the Financial Aid conversation in parallel with your application.
• Assuming one deadline fits all. Each program sets its own timeline.

Bottom line

To apply to MSM, go to msm.edu → Admissions → Admissions Home, choose your specific program, and follow that program's application instructions. Use the Financial Aid office for funding questions and the Office of the Registrar for records — and confirm all deadlines and requirements on the individual program page before submitting.
