Financial Aid

AIU FAFSA School Code: 014720

AIU goes to great lengths to ensure that every student has a financial aid package to suit their needs. Each student is provided with a dedicated Financial Aid Advisor who will personally walk them through every step of the financial aid process.

Eligibility for Federal financial aid is based on a number of factors, but regardless of your current income level or financial need, you may still qualify for student financial aid programs that can help offset the cost of your education. We have created a Financial Aid Estimator* to help you gain a better understanding of how you can fund your education costs.

The first step in applying for financial aid is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Once you have enrolled and completed the FAFSA, a Financial Aid Advisor will work with you to determine the financial aid options for which you are eligible.

University grants or scholarships are based on established criteria as published in the University’s catalog and are awarded after verification that the conditions of eligibility have been met.

Do you qualify for tuition reimbursement with your company or organization?

Many companies and organizations offer tuition reimbursement programs for employees. Be sure to talk with a human resources representative at your company/organization to find out whether your employer offers tuition reimbursement and to learn about eligibility requirements.

Military Students Financial Aid

AIU goes to great lengths to make Financial Aid a seamless process for our military students. We have a dedicated team of Financial Aid Advisors who specialize in assisting military students with maximizing their benefits.

As a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges, American InterContinental University has established programs geared to the needs of active servicemen, servicewomen and veterans.

AIU is approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for Montgomery G.I. Bill benefits. Students interested in veterans’ educational benefits should contact the Financial Aid Department.

International Students Financial Aid

AIU only offers student federal financial aid to U.S. citizens who qualify. International students are required to prearrange coverage for all their educational and living expenses prior to acceptance at AIU Online.

However, many different types of private loan programs are available for international students who qualify. We encourage you to check with the appropriate authorities within your home country for assistance programs that may exist for your benefit.

We also encourage you to research outside assistance that may be offered through other organizations, such as your company’s human resources department. Many employers offer the benefit of tuition reimbursement to help students pay for their education.
