AIU Student Determination Grant
AIU offers the Student Determination Grant to undergraduate students who are enrolled in a Title IV eligible program, have exhausted all federal/state aid available, established a minimum monthly payment with the institution and have unmet financial need for the applicable academic year.
The institutional grant may be awarded up to $3,810 per academic year. The grant, combined with all other sources of aid available to the student (federal/state financial aid grant and loan funds, military benefits*, private alternative loans, employer tuition reimbursement, etc.) may not exceed the total tuition, fees, and course materials cost for the academic year. The grant will be disbursed evenly among eligible terms with no single term exceeding $1,270 in eligibility. The grant is need-based and intended to assist students in covering remaining tuition charges after all available financial assistance has been utilized and a minimum monthly payment has been established with the University. The grant is not transferrable and may not be redeemed for cash or credit.
Students must adhere to the AIU General Grant and Scholarship Conditions. The grant may be combined with any other scholarship or grant. The grant is subject to the program eligibility limits listed below.
