Financial Aid

Qualified students enrolled in the Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy are eligible for financial aid. Typically, only loans are available to finance any balance.

Presbyterian College offers the following loan programs to Pharmacy Students:

  • Direct Student Loans (through FAFSA)
  • Private/Alternative Loans (through alternative lenders/programs)

Students are eligible to borrow up to $200,000 in their unsubsidized loan through the Federal Direct Loan Program over the lifetime of the program with the maximum amount per year totaling $50,000.

Private/Alternative loans can be used to cover the remaining balance up to the Cost of Attendance; however, we encourage students to borrow only what you need. (link to private loans: https://choice.fastproducts.org/FastChoice/home/344500)

Practice creating a budget to understand what your living expenses are to best prepare for the School of Pharmacy.
