Medical School Admissions Test (MCAT)
	Khan Academy has easy-to-understand tutorials on a variety of subjects, including helping students prepare for the MCAT. We strongly encourage students to use these as one of many resources, and not in place of those resources available to you on campus. For instance, if you need further help understanding a topic in one of your classes, we recommend you go to your professor’s office hours, to the CTAE (Center for Tutoring and Academic Excellence), or ask your classmates, and not rely only on Khan Academy videos.

	While less common than undergraduate scholarships, scholarships for graduate students are available, and this site lists some of the options. Graduate students often rely heavily on fellowships or assistantships, but these aren’t available to everyone and don’t always cover a graduate student’s living expenses. Thankfully, a number of scholarship providers are willing to help graduate students finish the last leg of their educational journeys by providing a bit of extra funding.
