Financial Aid

Whitworth's knowledgeable financial aid staff is available to assist you. Please call our financial aid staff at 509.777.3215 or visit the Whitworth Financial Aid webpage for more information.

Financial aid is available to Whitworth students to support their investment in their doctoral education. Students do not have to be in a low-income category to qualify, but they do need to apply to be considered for financial aid. The Whitworth Financial Aid Office (509.777.3215) is eager to assist you in determining the best way to fund your education.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Students participating in the Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) program will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov if they intend to apply for any type of financial aid. To complete the FAFSA, you will need to have or create an FSA ID at fsaid.ed.gov. Financial aid will be awarded for eight semesters over three academic years. Students will need to complete a FAFSA each academic year that they wish to receive aid. List Whitworth University on the FAFSA along with Whitworth's Title IV code, which is 003804. Only domestic and permanent residents are eligible for financial aid through the FAFSA.

Scholarships and Grants

Whitworth University is committed to a robust scholarship program to support student education in the doctoral programs. Applicants will be eligible to apply for scholarships at the time of their interview. Find more information on the Whitworth Financial Aid website.

A First-Year Housing Scholarship is available for students in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Additional scholarships specific to physical therapy students are available here.

Assistance for Veterans

The Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, which offers federal benefits, is designed to provide substantial educational benefits to servicemen and women. It covers a large part of the cost of a Whitworth degree. Visit www.whitworth.edu/veterans to learn more about the veteran-education benefits available to you.

Whitworth's VA certifying official in the registrar's office (509.777.3508) can assist you in determining your eligibility. The Whitworth Financial Aid Office will then work with you to ensure that you receive the proper assistance.

Payment Options

Payment options are available, including monthly payments with a minimal set-up fee. For information, contact the Whitworth Student Financial Services Office at stuaccts@whitworth.edu.
