Tuition & Financial Aid

The most current tuition information can be found through the University of Washington tuition rate web page.

Other expenses include tools, books, supplies, room and board, travel expenses associated with clinical education, and lab fees, which are currently approximately $2,200 per year paid on a quarterly basis. Lab fees vary according to the number of hours spent in Prosthetics & Orthotics classes. Lab fees are subject to change.

The Prosthetics & Orthotics Program involves a full-time course load each quarter. For this reason, some students may find it difficult to work while in the program.

  • January-April - Private Scholarships

Information on the University of Washington's Child Care Assistance program for students may be obtained by calling 206-543-1041 or visiting their website.

Students should apply for financial aid as soon as possible, and prior to potential admission to the program. Most students arrange for student loans if they need financial assistance, as there is little time available for employment while enrolled in the program.
