Financial aid
Scholarships may be available for those who demonstrate financial need. The Mayo Clinic Student Financial Aid Office 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 MSHS Scholarship Committee. The awards are made possible by generous benefactor contributions and therefore the award amounts vary annually. In the 2011-2012 academic year, for example, nearly 86% of enrolled physical therapy students were awarded need-based scholarships exceeding $250,000. The average award was $3,000. Additional scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to students enrolled in the 3rd 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.
