Financial Information
Making the decision to go to veterinary school is both a major life decision and a major financial commitment. Ross University is committed to doing everything possible to prevent financial concerns from keeping any student from pursuing their dream of becoming a veterinarian.
Ross University maintains a competitive tuition and provides the support that enables students to obtain loans and cost-effective living arrangements during their seven semesters at the Ross campus in St. Kitts.
Student Loans
Students accepted for admission to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, and those who are in attendance and maintaining standards of satisfactory academic progress, may apply for student loans through both government and private programs to meet direct and indirect educational expenses. The maximum loan amount for which a student is eligible may not exceed the Cost of Attendance for the academic period in which the student is enrolled.
The Office of Student Finance assists students in applying to non-governmental lenders and grantors of loans and scholarships for which they may be eligible. Our staff will provide information to enrolled students, help with the application process, and communicate with the New Jersey Office of Financial Aid. It is advisable for all students -- including those who have applied for financial aid -- to bring sufficient funds with them to cover their initial month's living and housing expenses.
Typically, students finance the cost of their veterinary school education by combining family resources, student loans from governmental and other agencies, and private sources. Families should make every possible effort to attain the needed resources for education. Financial Aid is intended to fill the gap that may exist between a family’s ability to afford educational expenses and the cost of attendance at the school.
Approximately 85% of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine students receive some assistance.
Students applying for assistance must submit the applications and supporting material described in the Financial Planning Guide booklet by the deadlines indicated. All applications are available from the Office of Student Finance.
