Students are expected to investigate Stafford Loan Programs, as well as other sources of financial aid which may be available. These may include out-of-state tuition programs administered by the boards of education of some states, social security benefits, vocational rehabilitation programs and loans, and scholarships which are available through some state chiropractic organizations.
