Support for these areas includes statistical consulting, an intramural grant program, and a searchable database of extramural grant opportunities.

Their goal is to provide information and advice, determined solely by the best interests of our students. Current students finance their educational costs with a combination of federal and private loans, scholarships, and resources. The applicants' financial ability to complete their education at the University is essential because of the limited number of positions available in each class. Applicants should have specific plans for financing each year of education, including tuition fees, books, equipment, clinical rotation, travel expenses related to taking COMLEX, USMLE exams, other professional examinations, and miscellaneous expenses. The Office of Student Life at RVU designs and implements various program activities to enhance campus life quality by building and strengthening the RVU student doctor community. Program activities include the Peer Mentoring program, leadership development, and advisement to the Student Government Association and student clubs/organizations, Student Wellness, and co-curricular activities.

His mission was to make RMCAD a 'community of creatives' that would instill in all students a passion for creativity, innovation, and a desire for lifelong learning—both in the fine arts and applied arts.
