Living expenses
Living expenses such as transportation, housing and meals are not paid to the school. However, these expenses are considered for purposes of processing financial aid, where applicable.
Financial aid
Scholarships may be available for those who demonstrate financial need. The Mayo Clinic Office of Student Financial Aid can provide more details about financial aid for the Physical Therapy Doctoral Program.
Mayo School of Health Sciences Need-Based Grants are awarded to students on an annual basis. Selection criteria for these awards are based on a formula that evaluates student-documented financial need and are determined by the Mayo School of Health Sciences Scholarship Committee. The awards are made possible by generous benefactor contributions and therefore the award amounts vary annually.
In the 2012-2013 academic year, nearly 85 percent of enrolled physical therapy students were awarded need-based scholarships exceeding $170,000. The average award was $2,000. Additional scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to students enrolled in the third year of the program by the Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy Alumni Association.
Costs are subject to change by Mayo School of Health Sciences and its affiliates.
