**All clinical fees are invoiced 2 weeks prior to the start of Clinical Practicum II and III courses. Clinical fees are based on the number of rotation weeks and the clinical site that the Fellow chooses to attend which is predetermined at the start of the program upon consultation with the Fellow and Fellowship Program Directors. 

Year 1: Students participating in DNAPC and ASPMF simultaneously are entitled to federal financial aid and in-school deferment. Students enrolled in the DNAPC program and pursuing degree-seeking courses will qualify for both federal financial aid and in-school deferment. 

Year 2: The Acute Surgical Pain Management Fellowship is not classified as a degree-seeking program. The hours enrolled in ASPMF do not qualify for Federal financial aid or in-school loan deferment. Additionally, students enrolled in Year 2 are considered less than half-time in DNAP completion hours; rendering them ineligible for federal loans and in-school loan deferment

Students will receive statements to their MTSA email account up to 2 weeks prior to the due dates listed above. The statement will show the amount due for the upcoming semester and the date that payment is due.

Students mailing checks should send them to the following address:
MTSA
Attn: Business Office
P.O Box 417
Madison, TN 37116

Withdrawal from Programs

Should a student simultaneously enrolled in the ASPMF or NET and the DNAP-C programs, decide to withdraw from one of the programs, they will no longer receive the discounted tuition rate.

The format and schedule for the tuition and fees collection periods are subject to change, based on potential program schedule changes and recommendations from outside agencies, to which MTSA is accountable. The tuition for each class is set in advance by the Board of Trustees and may fluctuate from year to year. MTSA reserves the right to change tuition and fees on a year-to-year basis. Fellows should make their financial plans accordingly.

Please contact the MTSA Business Office with any questions you may have regarding tuition.

Fees throughout the Program May Include:

  • 3% Credit or Debit Card Fee: if Fellow uses a credit or debit card to pay tuition or purchase any item through the school.
  • Fee for Returned Checks: A $30 fee will be assessed for each occurrence of a check returned by a bank for insufficient funds, account closed or any other reason.  
  • Delinquent tuition fee: A $100 late fee will be assessed on delinquent tuition payments, for each MTSA business day (Mon-Thurs) that the tuition payment is delinquent. Therefore, if tuition is due on one Monday, but is not paid until the following Monday, an additional $400 delinquent tuition fee is levied.

    NOTE: If the Fellow has chosen not to utilize Electronic Funds Transfer, it is the Fellow’s responsibility to make arrangements with appropriate personnel to make tuition payments on a timely basis.
