Financing Your Way through the PharmD Program

PharmD students at UT Austin generally support themselves through various methods of financial assistance such as need-based financial aid (loans & grants), scholarships, and part-time work (pharmacy technician or intern).

Approximately 85% or more of our students received some kind of financial assistance from UT Austin’s Student Financial Services and/or the College of Pharmacy.

FINANCIAL AID:
If you are seeking financial assistance through student loans and grants, you will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Application.  
The process for being awarded financial aid can be found at:
