Financial Aid
The University of Nebraska Medical Center has financial aid programs to assist students with unmet financial need. The programs operate on the premise that students and parents have a responsibility to meet as much of the educational and related costs as possible. The Office of Financial Aid is prepared to supplement family contributions from its aid sources when students qualify for financial aid. Additionally, the Office of Financial Aid counselors are prepared to assist students in obtaining financial aid from outside sources. It is very important for prospective students to make sure all financial planning arrangements are complete prior to entering the Program. Physician assistant students are also advised that part-time employment is not feasible because of heavy academic demands.
Inquiries about financial assistance should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 984265 Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198-4265. Telephone 402/559-4199. Or visit their web site - Student Services Office of Financial Aid.
