Costs & Financial Aid Information

Financial Aid is administered by the Purdue University Division of Financial Aid. Scholarships are available on a limited basis from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Division of Financial Aid. All veterinary medical students are considered for scholarships; therefore, there is no application process.

For questions relating to financial aid, students should visit the Purdue University Division of Financial Aid website or call the Division of Financial Aid at 765-494-5050. 

In order to comply with federal financial aid policies, applicants applying to any professional program must either have a bachelor's degree or will have earned at least 72 college credits prior to being admitted to qualify for financial aid as a professional student. Students who do not meet this requirement may still matriculate into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program, however, they will not be eligible to receive any federal financial aid.
