From what I've gathered, there's a few basic things:
-work as much as possible, whether during the DPT and/or after you graduate, such as a second job
-scholarships/grants
-hope you get into a cheap program, maybe public in-state colleges, programs in Texas, etc.
-join the military
I have some questions on this though. I've read that the only way you can get the military to pay for your DPT schooling is through Baylor. But if you go on army.com or on the national guard website, it doesn't really seem to put it that way. It seems like there are other methods of paying for schooling, or perhaps loan repayment/forgiveness.

Is there anything I'm missing? I'm going to shadow a PT probably next week so I can decide if this is for me or not, but the last thing I want is crazy debt from loans with interest that just stacks up over time. I'd rather minimize this problem, pay it off in 10 years in whatever way possible, and move on.
Oh, and what about the GI Bill?
