I have worked with a number of aspiring speech pathologists in the last few years who have gotten at least partial funding for grad school programs. Many SLP grad school programs still DO have teaching assistantship, fellowship or scholarship programs. They were very lucky to get th finding they got.
I want to be clear…I never said MOST SLP grads are funded partially or fully. In my grad program, back in the Stone Age, I was the one of three funded students out of a field if about 40 in my cohort. I don’t think this %age of funding has changed.
In my experience, this type of funding is far more difficult to come by for PT and OT grad programs. Not impossible, but less likely. This is recent information based on students I know who went through these programs in the last few years.
@carolinamom2boys care to chime in?
