ERAS application fees are based on the number of programs applied to per specialty. The MyERAS portal automatically calculates your fees, and you can pay online using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
| Programs per Specialty | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| 1-30 | $11 |
| 31 or more | $30 |
Note: Cost is per specialty; pricing resets with each additional specialty.
Example 1: 30 Emergency Medicine programs [30 x $11] = $330.
Example 2: 43 Internal Medicine programs [(30 X $11) + (13 X $30)] + 7 Radiology programs [7 X $11] = $797 (Fee Assistance Program-approved applicants would pay $797-$558=$239).
Example 3: 32 Internal Medicine programs [(30 x $11) + (2 x $30)] + 32 Emergency Medicine programs [(30 x $11) + (2 x $30)] = $780.

The ERAS system does not offer refunds for any reason. Refunds will not be given for applications sent to nonparticipating programs.
Although the ERAS program makes every effort to ensure that our data are up to date, programs may not always communicate to the ERAS system their intention to accept applications; or a program's status may change. Therefore, it is your responsibility to confirm that you meet all eligibility requirements and program deadlines before applying by contacting programs directly.
The ERAS system's primary role is to deliver your application and supporting documents to designated programs. This process is no different from placing a stamp on an envelope and mailing it through the U.S. Postal Service. Once you apply to a program and submit payment through the MyERAS portal, service has been rendered and your application has been delivered.
If your account has an unpaid balance, the AAMC will revoke your access to the MyERAS portal. In addition, the ERAS system will contact your Designated Dean’s Office as well as ERAS business partners, including the ERAS Fellowships Documents Office (EFDO) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), to prohibit your access to the ERAS system until the debt is paid in full. This policy applies to current and future ERAS seasons, as long as your debt is outstanding. Moreover, if you do not satisfy your debt, your access to other AAMC services will also be revoked.
