TD has financial support for Canada's medical, dental and vet students

When you’ve worked as hard as Canada’s future medical doctors, dentists and veterinarians to earn your spot at university, the final hurdle to achieving your dreams is often money — and it can be really tough.

TD research has found that 30% of Canadian students might forgo professional graduate programs due to not receiving adequate financial support, 41% would worry about funding if accepted, and 36% view a student line of credit as important for funding their studies.

To support these students, TD has made changes to its Student Line of Credit, a product designed to bridge the financial gap for students entering medical, dental and veterinary programs and help them transition to professional life after graduation.

The biggest change is to credit limits:

• Medical and dental students can access up to $400,000, with up to $100,000 available in the first year (plus an additional $25,000 for eligible specialty dental programs).
• Veterinary students can access up to $250,000, with up to $62,500 available in the first year of study.

If you’ve been accepted and are enrolled in a medical, dental or veterinary program in Canada or the U.S., you could be eligible. And for Canadian students, if you’re studying at a Canadian institution, no co-signer is required to apply.

Students will continue to have access to their student line of credit during residency, benefit from two years of interest-only payments after graduation or the end of residency, and enjoy seamless access across TD platforms.

TD also supports you throughout your studies by connecting you with a TD Personal Banker, who understands your needs and can offer guidance every step of the way.

If your dream is to become a doctor, dentist, or veterinarian — keep moving forward with the TD Student Line of Credit.

¹About the survey: This Maru Public Opinion survey conducted on behalf of TD Bank was undertaken by the sample and data collection experts at Maru/Blue. 1,029 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Maru Voice Canada online panelists were surveyed from July 26th to August 4th 2024, of which 514 are currently enrolled post-secondary students and 515 are parents of children currently enrolled in post-secondary school. The results of this study have been weighted by region to match the population, according to Census data. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size has an estimated margin of error (which measures sampling variability) of +/- 4.3%, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals when compared to the data tables are due to rounding.
