If you want to become a certified pharmacy technician but need help paying for a training program, you may be looking for one that offers financial aid.
Here at Stepful, we offer an accredited online pharmacy technician program with financial aid. Many students are eligible for our scholarships and we also offer a flexible payment plan that allows you to spread your payments out over time.
Note that federal financial aid cannot be used to pay for Stepful’s pharmacy tech classes. With that being said, there are still other ways to get financial support if you’re interested in joining our program.
Let’s take a closer look at how you can pay for Stepful’s online pharmacy technician program with financial aid.
