At Pass the OT, our mission is simple: to help as many students as possible achieve their dream of becoming a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT) or Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA).
To further that mission, we have launched a special “Fund a Student” initiative to support students who need access to our resources but are experiencing significant financial hardship.
For each dollar that is donated to the fund, Pass the OT will match dollar-per-dollar to provide tutoring and web courses to those in need, to achieve their dream of becoming a licensed occupational therapist or occupational therapist assistant.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward providing qualifying students with access to:
- Our online study courses
- Intensive review programs
- Additional private tutoring
- Free Extensions
Students We’ve Been Able to Help Include:
- Students whose lives and studies were disrupted by hurricanes
- A student who lost his home after being unable to afford his mortgage when his wife lost her job
- A mother caring for a child with special needs
- A woman caring for her father with severe lung cancer
- A mother raising two children with special needs while living paycheck to paycheck.
If you know someone who could use our assistance, please email jshane@passtheot.com

Why This Matters
When students don’t pass the NBCOT® exam—especially after months of dedicated studying and following everything their school recommended, including the use of resources like TherapyEd®—the impact can be devastating.
Not passing often means:
- Paying another $550 exam fee
- Losing out on $8,000–$12,000 per month in potential income
- Delaying or losing a dream job
- Experiencing self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion
- Added stress on families, relationships, and overall well-being
For some, repeated setbacks lead them to question whether they were ever meant to become an occupational therapist at all.
