Hi everyone! I'm considering applying for Concorde's Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, but I'm having trouble finding reliable information about the cost. Does anyone know the program's cost or can share their experience with financial aid options there?
Hello! Concorde Career College, in general, tends to have higher tuition rates compared to community colleges or public universities, since it is a private, for-profit institution. Costs can vary depending on the specific campus you plan to attend, but for the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program specifically, tuition can be over $50,000. Financial aid options such as grants, loans, and scholarships could be available, though, some of which will depend on your eligibility and FAFSA results.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date tuition information for the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at the Concorde campus you're interested in, it's best to reach out to the campus' admissions or financial aid offices directly. They'll be able to give you a tuition breakdown, inform you of any fees or additional expenses associated with the program, and guide you through the financial aid process, including any institutional scholarships that may be available to PTA students.
Additionally, don't forget to explore external scholarship opportunities. Many organizations and foundations offer scholarships specifically for aspiring physical therapist assistants and students pursuing careers in the health sciences in general, which you might find helpful to offset the program costs.
Good luck with your application, and I hope you find the financial aid options that work best for you!
