Role of the Office of Financial Aid
The UTRGV Financial Aid Office is committed to supporting our students in achieving their academic goals and assisting with the cost of their podiatric medical education. Our office is here to help our students understand financial aid eligibility, complete their FAFSA application, and answer their questions regarding financial assistance.
UTRGV School of Podiatric Medicine (SOPM) students have the option of applying for financial aid. Financial aid is available in several forms: federal loans, scholarships, grants, veteran’s benefits, and private loans.
- Grants are funds from federal and state sources that do NOT require repayment.
- Scholarships are available from state, institutional, and organizational funds that do NOT require repayment.
- Loan programs offer money that must be paid back after graduation or withdrawal from the institution. These may consist of federal or private loans.
- Veteran’s benefits, such as the Hazlewood Exemption, are available for Texas Veterans who have exhausted their eligibility for federal benefits.
