Tuition & Financial Aid

Marshall B. Ketchum University is a private, non-profit, independent, educational institution that does not seek, nor receive any direct government funding for its operations. Tuition and fees, however, cover less than half of the total operating expenses of the University. The balance of operating expenses are covered by contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations, as well as endowment income, investment income, and income derived from University clinics.

The Office of Financial Aid provides students with the financial services and advice that will help them best meet the educational expenses necessary to achieve their career goal of becoming outstanding Physician Assistants.

Like most students in the process of investigating various universities and the programs they have to offer, you are undoubtedly becoming aware of the high cost of graduate education at a private university.  You may be wondering how you will be able to afford these educational expenses.

You should not be discouraged as over 91 percent of all students at MBKU use some form of financial assistance. These are grants and scholarships, low-interest loans, high-interest loans, and work-study opportunities.

When comparing the cost of a private versus a public institution you should consider the quality of education that you will be receiving for your hard-earned dollars. Through careful planning and assistance from the MBKU Financial Aid Office, your future goals can be realized.
