Our user asked: "Hello, I will begin attending a PT program in the Summer (not sure which one yet... still interviewing). So recently, I have been researching ways to pay for PT school (grants, loans, scholarships, etc), but the available information to me is so random and jumbled. What is the best way to pay for school? Are grants, scholarships available? And what type of loans are the best? Any light you can spread on this subject matter would be awesome!"

Ask a PT Response: "There are some scholarships available. Often times there are specific ones offered by the PT school in general (ie. someone that graduated from the PT program setting up one, etc.). Otherwise you can click on this link for some ideas: http://www.cyberpt.com/CyberPTscholar.asp - http://www.cyberpt.com/CyberPTscholar.asp . Best bet to ensure you come up with enough funds for school would be loans."
