The Â鶹AV Office of Student Financial Aid helps students secure needed financial aid. Assistance includes loans, limited scholarships and/or part-time employment.
Information and applications for financial aid are provided to all applicants invited to interview. Correspondence regarding financial aid should be sent to:
Office of Student Financial Aid
Â鶹AV
1120 15th Street, AA-2013
Â鶹AV, Georgia 30912-7320
You can reach the Office of Student Financial Aid at (706) 737-1524.
Applications for Â鶹AV funds are separate from applications for DCG scholarships. An applicant does not need to wait for acceptance to Â鶹AV before applying for aid. It is recommended that financial aid applications material be submitted between January 1 and February 15 prior to the anticipated matriculation date regardless of acceptance status. Applications will be processed according to the date of receipt, so early application, anytime after January 1, is encouraged. Applications completed by March 31 will receive priority consideration.
Academic Expenses:
The Dental College of Georgia at Â鶹AV requires an acceptance deposit, which will be credited toward first semester matriculation fees. The non-refundable acceptance deposit is $500 for Georgia residents and $1,000 for out-of-state and international students.
All students at Â鶹AV are required to carry health insurance, and certification of health insurance is required of each student annually. A student health insurance plan is available through the Â鶹AV's Student Health Services.
Students can subscribe to this or another plan of their choice as long as the plan obtained outside of Â鶹AV meets minimal institutional benefit standards. The cost of student health insurance included in the estimated academic expenses listed above is the annual (12-month) cost for a single student. Cost of coverage for spouses and children is higher.
During the off-site clerkship experience, the student may incur some added expenses, depending on the location selected for these experiences. After the fourth-year, most students elect to take one or more state board examinations for licensing purposes. At the time of this writing, the 2023 Central Regional Dental Testing Services, Inc. examination fee is $2,350.
