Financial Aid
The Office of University Student Financial Affairs helps students obtain the funds necessary to pursue their education. Approximately 95% of the matriculated students receive a financial aid package that consists of Federal Subsidized Perkins and Stafford Loans, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Health Professions Student Loans and work-study. Additionally there are scholarships available for qualified students. Each student’s admission application and supporting documentation is screened for scholarship eligibility. Historically, over $250,000 in scholarships were awarded to incoming DPT students.
