Foreign students have not been successful in gaining entrance to the program unless they have entered the USA on an Immigrant or Permanent Resident Visa and have plans to remain here. The reason for this difference in priorities is related to the state and federal funding base.

Funded trainees must be US Citizens or have the Permanent Resident Visa since the program tuition and stipend are supported by a federal grant. Non-citizen therapists with pediatric PT experience may apply but must be financially independent.
