Health Insurance
We require our OTA students to be covered under a health insurance plan. Students who do not have health insurance coverage can enroll in St. Kate’s health insurance plan.

Financial Assistance
Students who need help paying for their OTA education may apply for federal financial aid by using our four-step process. Students may be eligible for the federal Pell grant and federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized loans. Moreover, parents of dependent students may be eligible to apply for a Parent PLUS loan.
For additional information, see our Military and Veteran Aid page or contact the College for Adults Resource Center at [email protected].
Payment Options
Our Student Accounts office offers several tuition payment options, from paying online via KatePay to paying in person by check. Typically, payment for each semester is due in full by the first day of class. However, you have the opportunity to enroll in a payment plan that spreads your costs across the semester. We offer a ten-day window at the start of each semester where you can sign up for a payment plan in KatePay.
