Financial Aid

If you intend to apply for financial aid, you should file your FAFSA form by February 15 of the year of application. Filing by this deadline will maximize your opportunities for financial aid. The University of Montana's school code is 002536; up to six schools may be included on one application. The initial notification letter will not include special consideration for physical therapy costs. These will be adjusted in the final award letter. Limited scholarships and awards are available from the School of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science. You will be notified about these during your enrollment in the program.
