Common questions from physician assistant students
MPOWER Financing loans range from $2,001 up to $100,000. Most physician assistant students use federal loans (up to $20,500 per year) first, then use an MPOWER loan to cover the remaining cost of tuition, fees, supplies and living expenses.
MPOWER considers factors beyond credit score, including your program’s reputation and the strong job market for physician assistants.
With MPOWER Financing, you’ll make monthly interest-only payments while in school and for six months after graduation (or for 30 months after the start of your loan, whichever comes first). Following this, you’ll begin repaying both interest and principal. Review your loan agreement for specific details.
Your loan can cover costs related to clinical rotations including travel, temporary housing, additional background checks and site-specific requirements.
Fixed rates (like MPOWER’s) stay the same for your entire loan term protecting you from inflation. Variable rates can increase if market rates rise. For a two-year physician assistant program, a fixed rate provides budget certainty.

It all started back in 2023. I was just scrolling through the internet when I came across MPOWER. I had no idea then that it would lead me to where I am now: a proud graduate with my master’s degree as of January, and now beginning view more a new chapter as a working professional here in Canada. As an international student for two years, the journey was nothing short of a rollercoaster, and honestly, it felt like more downs than ups at times. But looking back, if I had to make the choice all over again, I’d still choose MPOWER. Forever grateful. view less
