Athletic training students requiring a fifth year may be considered for financial aid upon request and justification to the Athletic Training Staff.

Eligibility of transfer students for Athletic Department financial aid will be determined by the Athletic Training Staff on a case-by-case basis.

Financial aid is coordinated through the Department of Financial Aid and the Director of Athletic Training and Sports Medicine and is subject to coordination with other University-based grants and aid.
