Our financial aid packages – combining federal and institutional aid – make us one of the most affordable chiropractic colleges in the country. Nearly 98% of students receive some form of financial aid – including loans, scholarships, family discounts and work-study. Sherman also participates in the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Tuition is $10,175 per quarter.
Total annual tuition is $40,700.
The U.S. Department of Education publishes cohort default rates based on the percentage of a school’s borrowers who enter repayment on Direct Loan Program loans during a federal fiscal year (October 1–September 30) and default before the end of the second following fiscal year. The cohort default rate is the percentage of a school’s borrowers who enter repayment on certain Federal Family Education Loans (FFELs) and/or Direct Loans, and who default (or meet the other specified condition) within prescribed cohort default period(s). Our most recently published Title IV cohort default rate (Fiscal Year 2021) is 0%. Historical default rates as well as default rates for other institutions can be found at the federal student aid site here.
