Admissions
The Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine selects highly qualified students who are representative of a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and interests. Selection is based on an overall appraisal of the applicant’s suitability for a career in dentistry. Applicants should demonstrate academic achievement, competence in the sciences and a general interest in the profession of dentistry. These factors, as well as performance on the DAT, letters of recommendation and the personal interview, are considered in the admissions process. Consistent with the school policy of selecting students with varied backgrounds, the school encourages applications from qualified individuals from those groups who have in the past been underrepresented in the dental profession. Due to the small class size, students attending the school are educated in a highly supportive environment. Academic tutoring, faculty counseling, and individually developed remedial programs are available to students under special circumstances, as determined by faculty.

Financial Aid
Funding your education is one of the most important investments you will make to prepare for your future. The Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine are committed to providing our students with the assistance to explore all funding options available.
Financial aid is divided into three basic categories: grants/scholarships, loans, and employment programs. Grants/Scholarships do not have to be repaid. Loans usually carry some form of interest payment and must be paid back to the lender. Employment Programs allow the student the chance to earn money to help with educational expenses.
All students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at FAFSA in order to apply for federal aid. The priority deadline for submission for new students is April 1st . When completing the FAFSA do not include parental information, unless you are applying for any campus-based funds, such as the Tuition Waiver Grant for Disadvantaged Students (DW) or the Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL). Parent information will be used only for consideration in awarding campus-based funds.
If you apply for Campus Based Funds, an Institutional Application is also required in order to be considered.
Federal Code: 002838
