Pharm.D. Tuition & Financial Support

Pharm.D. Tuition and Costs

Attaining a quality pharmacy education does not come without cost, and approximately 85% of our students received some form of financial assistance from UT Austin’s Student Financial Services and/or the College of Pharmacy. 

Annually, the college awards approximately $530,000 in scholarships to students in their second, third, or fourth professional year.

We have provided resources below to help you plan for the costs of your Pharm.D. degree.
