The fundamental purpose of the financial aid programs at the College is to assist students in financing their chiropractic education. Students who believe their resources are inadequate to meet educational expenses should request financial aid consideration and seek the advice of the Financial Planning Office counseling staff.
Financial Aid/Scholarship Information
The following information is available to students on www.palmer.edu, the Palmer Portal and in the Financial Planning Office:

To be considered for U.S. federal financial assistance, it is necessary to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each award year.
In order to be eligible for federal and institutional aid, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Please refer to page 62 for the SAP Policy for Recipients of Financial Aid. Students must be enrolled at least half-time (i.e. enrolled in six (6) credit hours) to receive federal financial aid. Total financial aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance during each award period.
Campus-based aid (i.e. Federal Work Study and Federal Supplementary Education Opportunity Grant) is awarded to students who demonstrate significant financial need, based on information provided on the FAFSA.
Scholarships/Grants
Palmer College of Chiropractic scholarships and grants recognize students with outstanding academic performance, exceptional financial need, extracurricular contributions to the College, and chiropractic community and other criteria.
Scholarships are made available to students annually through donations or internally generated funds, and are administered by the Office of Financial Planning. Descriptions, applications and deadlines for available scholarships are advertised each term by the Financial Planning Office. Palmer College students are encouraged to apply. All scholarships and grants are considered to be part of a student’s financial aid award package.
