Ms. Jennifer English:

Jennifer English is the Director of Financial Aid at the UMass Chan Medical School.  As a 25-year veteran of the Financial Aid world she appreciates the variety of backgrounds and experiences that each of our students brings to the Medical School.  She spent her undergraduate years at Mount Holyoke College and at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland studying literature and history but found her passion when she was hired at the Worcester State University Financial Aid Office.  In the intervening years she occupied several positions within the WSU Financial Aid Office, including serving as Interim Director, prior to joining the team at UMass Chan Financial Aid Office in the Fall of 2022.  Jennifer enjoys hiking and reading historical fiction and debating the merits of different budgeting apps.
