Anderson University students interested in becoming an orthopedic physical therapist can now take advantage of a tuition assistance program to help make their career goal a reality.
The Elite Therapy Solutions Physical Therapy Student Tuition Assistance Program is designed to support Anderson University students who are passionate about advancing their education and career in outpatient and orthopedic physical therapy. This program aims to recognize academic excellence, commitment to the field, and a drive to make a positive impact on orthopedic rehabilitation.
The program is open to all Anderson University physical therapy students and covers the full cost of tuition for Year 3 of the Anderson University physical therapy program. Students will be required to work for Elite post-graduation and participate in the Elite residency program. The amount to cover third-year tuition will be dispersed directly to AU’s physical therapy school in the form of a forgivable loan with full forgiveness at the end of year 3 of employment. Residents see an outpatient and orthopedic caseload and are provided with a full competitive salary, a comprehensive benefits package and student loan repayment options. Elite’s residency program has a 100% pass rate for the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) exam. Students should apply during their first or second year.
