I’m a 30-year-old physical therapist looking to expand my expertise to provide better care and enhance my clinical reasoning skills. I’m particularly interested in pursuing a hybrid fellowship program—a 1-5 year certificate program—that would allow me to continue working and supporting my family while advancing my education. However, the cost of these programs ranges from $12,000 to $20,000, which is quite substantial. My company provides some financial support, but it’s not nearly enough to cover the majority of the costs.
I’m reaching out to see if anyone knows of scholarships or financial aid options available for adult learners pursuing such programs or other certification courses in physical therapy.
If you have any recommendations or know of any resources, organizations, or specific scholarships that support adult learners in physical therapy or related fields, I would greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, any advice on how to effectively search for and apply for these scholarships would be incredibly helpful.
