FINANCIAL AID

Going to veterinary school is a big decision, and a big financial commitment. We understand.

At Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, we strive to provide students with the financial support and counseling they need to qualify for loans and obtain cost-effective housing during their seven semesters on our St. Kitts campus.

If you're passionate about entering the world of veterinary medicine, don't let financial obstacles stop you from applying to RUSVM. Instead, let's figure out how to get them out of your way.

Email us at [email protected] if you'd like to discuss your financial situation, so we can work together and find a plan that's right for you.

FINANCING YOUR VETERINARY EDUCATION

Typically, students finance the cost of their veterinary school education by combining family resources, student loans from governmental and other agencies, and private sources. You can borrow for up to the per-semester cost of attendance.
