AIU Financial Grant
(All Branch Campuses)
The AIU Financial Grant may be awarded to full-time bachelor degree seeking students during their first two years of study who are attempting the first 90 credits of the program and who have unmet financial need. The grant may be awarded up to $3,000 over two academic years and is to be used toward tuition and fees for study in any bachelor degree program. The grant will be disbursed proportionately throughout the length of the program.
To be eligible for the AIU Financial Grant, candidates must:
- Apply and be accepted for admission to AIU
- Complete the application process for state and federal financial aid funding for which he/she may be eligible so that financial need may be determined
- Demonstrate financial need of at least $1,500 per academic year in their first two academic years. Financial need for this grant is determined by subtracting the expected family contribution and federal and state financial aid funding from direct educational costs. For this grant, financial aid funding includes federal and state aid (Federal Stafford subsidized and unsubsidized loans, Federal Pell grants, and Federal SEOG and state grants only).
- Be enrolled as a full-time student at AIU.
In order to maintain eligibility, grant recipients must continue to meet all AIU academic standards and policies as a matriculating student.
The grant is non-transferable and non-substitutable. No portion is refundable. No cash payments will be awarded to the student. The grant will be awarded in order of application receipt date. The number of grants awarded will vary depending on the number of applicants and the availability of funds. The AIU Financial Grant can only be combined with one of the following grants/scholarships: AIU Career Education Grant or Educational Alliances Grant. Should a student qualify for more than one grant/scholarship, the Financial Aid Office will award the combination of grants/scholarships which will be of the greatest benefit to the student.
