It's rare and almost unheard of to get a full ride to PT school, but despite common belief there are some programs that offer some scholarship money. They are just very hard to get being that the programs are competitive and hard to get into as it is. Drexel offers up to $60 or 65k in scholarship (over 2.5 yrs), Thomas Jefferson offers scholarships, and Delaware does as well. These are only the ones I know of based on personal experience, I'm sure there are plenty more.

This one is for NYC residents and only works for certain NYC PT schools, basically they will cover 2/3 years if you work for them for 4 years. http://www.teachnycprograms.net/getpage.php?page_id=107

MGH Institute offers the Knowles scholarship to one student per PT class -- it is a full-ride.

They also offer a handful of scholarships to PT students which in the past have been around $35,000-$50,000.

Though a DPT there is still around $80,000 even with the massive scholarship...better than $125k I guess...

Cheaper than my local state program and cheaper cost of living as well. It ended up being a good option for me.
