None are. Half are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The others are appointed by the head of the department or agency.

$54k+ after you add housing and meals plus “mandatory” fees.
It’s $30k in state after the housing, meals, and fees.

The government student loan program is ths main reason for the high cost of college tuitions and egregious spending.
---In 2017, Columbia Vangelos (Med.) promised to cover costs---including living expenses---for med students with financial need, generally those whose families earn under $125k. The full cost of attending is over $108k this year.
Columbia also awards need-based scholarships for students with family earnings above $125k threshold. Half of all students received scholarships this year with the awards averaging $76k. ---- WSJ 3/1/2024
---Harvard could fund many more MSTP students but puts the wood to them. That rubs me the wrong way. Candidates still fall on the sword for the Harvard brand.
Certainly! Harvard Medical School does accept MD-PhD students without MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) funding. In fact, approximately 40% of their MD-PhD student body consists of students who join the program after matriculating to HMS and are committed to pursuing PhD training12. If an applicant is not accepted into the MD-PhD Program initially, they may still be considered for admission to HMS. However, it’s important to note that acceptance to the MD-PhD Program requires prior acceptance to HMS in either the Pathways or Health Sciences and Technology (HST) curricula2. Additionally, for students who matriculate to Harvard Medical School without MSTP funding but decide to pursue both degrees, there is an “open tent” policy that welcomes them into the MD-PhD community, with formal matriculation upon acceptance to a Harvard or MIT graduate program13. So, while MSTP funding is highly competitive, there are pathways for students to pursue MD-PhD training even without it.

Anyone in an MD-PhD program who is paying tuition has a problem that is probably greater than the tuition.
Or mathematics MS or PhD. Just taking advantage of the thread.
