The debt (especially for out or state students) is pretty high. Most financial aid is in the form of student loans... grants and scholarships are few and far between. There are a handful of small scholarships/awards (under $1000) for students with good performance in their first year. Also, the SGA president receives a one year tuition waiver, and the GTA's receive tuition waivers and stipends for their last 3 years.
Some students take advantage of scholarships that require a service commitment when they graduate, either in the military or in rural WV. These scholarships cover all expenses (!!!), but require a 4-5 service commitment after your residency. If you are not sure what you want to specialize in or where you want to practice you might not want to limit your options. Also, depending on your circumstances, in the long run there is the chance that it won't save you enough money to be worth it if you are not enthusiastic about being in the military or working in a rural area ($90k per year x 5 years in a rural clinic vs. $130k per year x 5 years not in a rural clinic).
Sharon Howard in financial aid is awesome. You might want to call her to talk about your specific situation.
