Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Government Assistance in Becoming a Therapist

Dear all,

I have a Brazilian friend in her mid-twenties that is interested in finishing off her PT education by doing a Masters in the US. She has completed a 4 year bachelor in PT in Brazil as well as a specialized degree of 2 years in sports therapy, however she dos have quite a lot of experience working with disabled individuals. Along with the degrees she has been practicing for 5 years full time. The problem is obviously that the cost of education in the U.S. is extremely expensive for Americans, imagine how expensive it is for a Brazilian trying to study here. Are there programs which pay for a part or all of your Masters and then require a work agreement of 2-5 years afterwards. I had heard that something similar to this exists in NYC. Any information you would have would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you had any luck in finding out anything about this? I'm sure there are others that would be interested in this.
