As a married student, your parent's financial information is no longer required on the FAFSA; however, a medical school may still ask for this information to determine eligibility for other aid, such as institutional loans, grants or scholarships.

Does getting married affect med school loans?

Marriage before or during medical school can also affect issues around student loans, at least the ones which require proof of household income as part of their application. Thus, any loans which carry labels like “Income Sensitive”, “Income-Based” or “Income Dependent” can be affected.

Is it a good idea to get married during med school?
