AIU Online Milestone Grant – Reentry

*Effective with the June 9, 2014 start date, the Milestone Grant will be discontinued and no longer available to students reentering the University. 

AIU Online has established the AIU Online Milestone Grant – Reentry to recognize undergraduate students who re-enter the University and successfully complete the first quarter of their first academic year. The amount is a one-time award equal to the cost of the first course of the degree program or up to $1,359.00, whichever is less.

The conditions are as follows:

  • Students who have academic history with AIU prior to January 2014 are not eligible for the Milestone Grant
  • The grant is awarded as a lump sum to be disbursed during the second quarter of the first academic year
  • No disbursements will be applied to the student’s account until grades have posted for all coursework within the first quarter, acceptable POG documentation has been received, and attendance has occurred during the second quarter.
  • This is a one-time grant and will be applied as a credit to the student’s account and no cash payments will be awarded to the student.
  • CEC Employees and family members utilizing the National Educational Assistance Program are not eligible to receive this grant.
  • The AIU Online Milestone grant – Reentry, can only be applied one time within a degree program¹. For example, if a student received the AIU Online Milestone grant, withdrew and then attempted to re-enter, they would not be eligible to receive the grant a second time.
  • Students will be limited to two attempts at receiving an AIU Milestone Grant. The first attempt will occur during the initial enrollment and the second attempt will occur when the student re-enters.
  • In the event the tuition charge for the first course is less than 1,359.00, the grant amount will equal the tuition charge associated with the course.
  • The grant is non-transferable and non-substitutable
    1. Students who complete one program, and matriculate into another, are not eligible to receive the AIU Online Milestone Grant in their second enrollment.
