Master of Prosthetics & Orthotics (MPO)
Tuition & Financial Aid

MPO program students pay Tier II graduate tuition and fees. (Resident and Nonresident rates for Academic Year 2011-2012 only. These rates do not include summer quarter tuition.) The complete program is seven consecutive quarters, including a summer quarter.

Additional Expenses:

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 and the materials used. Lab fees are subject to annual increases.

A fee of $275 is assessed on the quarter of entry for the Health Sciences Immunization Program.

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

Financial Aid

Information on financial assistance and scholarships may be obtained from the University of Washington Office of Financial Aid. 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.

Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP)

GO-MAP, a unit of The Graduate School, has limited funding for students whose individual experiences and/or academic interests will bring diversity to scholarly perspectives and endeavors, and to the academic community. Students must be nominated by their department. For information, please review the GO-MAP funding information page.

The Office of Fellowships and Awards at the UW Graduate School is a good resource for finding information on fellowships, assistantships and other types of financial awards for graduate students. We advise you to schedule an appointment with the OFA.
