Aid, 11 Jesse Hall, Columbia, Mo. 65211.

need. HPSL loans have a five percent interest rate and a twelve-month
grace period. The Department of Health and Human Services

of Missouri-Columbia. Eligibility is determined by the information

borrow is based on yearly cost minus other financial aid.

Student
Employment
Many students work part time while attending
school. Because of the higher number of classroom and laboratory
hours required of veterinary medical students, it is recommended
that outside work be kept at a minimum, especially during
the first year. Some students are employed on research projects
in laboratories and in clinics. Other students find employment
for board, or room and board. The Office of Financial Aid,
11 Jesse Hall, provides information and assistance to students
seeking part-time work. If you have questions regarding student
employment call (573) 882-7506.
