Grants and Scholarships

[Pir8girl]

I just found out I got off the wait list at a PA program and I'm starting in August !! This is all very exciting but now the reality is setting in and I have to figure out how to afford it, and fast. Anyone know of any grants or scholarships for PA or Graduate students currently open?

Thank you !!!

The best resources I have found have been the AAPA website and my home state's academy website. However, I haven't found any source that offers a substantial amount. The majority of my funding has come from FAFSA and GradPlus loans. Congratulations and good luck!

Let me know what you find! I'm worried about paying too but am willing to take out loans since that seems to be the only option

Some of these are dated, and there are a few that are program specific. This should give you an idea where to start looking for the next cycle. Hope this helps. Good luck in your future PA endeavors.
