Students who have a recent major change in their family’s financial status and need to reconsider their financial aid award for the next academic year must send us an email to give them access to the reconsideration application before the assigned deadline for each semester.

Note that students applying for reconsideration will have to upload and submit new updated documents to support their application and their current awards will be canceled and their financial status will be reevaluated based on the new financial status.

Students will have to select only one out of the two applications (renewal or reconsideration) to apply for. If the two applications are submitted, the renewal form will be canceled and we will proceed with the reconsideration application. Submitted reconsideration applications with no or missing documents will not be further processed and will also be denied.

Release of the financial aid application for the fall 2023 semester is on March 15, 2023.

Deadline for applying: June 15, 2023.

Financial aid funds are limited, thus if you plan to apply for financial aid, do so as early as possible. No student will be allowed to apply after the deadline.

In making decision about how much of your financial need AUC can meet, we establish standard benchmarks for evaluating and assessing financial needs. Each application is evaluated individually and, on a case by-case basis. In addition, we consider how much money AUC has available in its financial aid budget, how much it costs to attend AUC, our enrollment goals and a philosophy regarding a minimum amount that parents should be able to pay for educational expense at AUC.

AUC strives to support current students in case of recent severe personal emergencies that may hinder them to pursue their education at AUC.

Undergraduate students admitted as of fall 2023 can only apply for the Emergency Aid after completing their first semester at AUC.

How to Apply?

• Students must send an email to the financial aid office explaining the emergency supported by official documents.
• Approval to access the emergency aid application is subject to committee consideration.
• Once approved, students will be given access to financial aid application on Banner Self-Service.
• Upload all of your required supporting documents that apply to your case, otherwise, your application will not be evaluated. Follow the steps in this link to upload your documents. For a complete list of all the required documents, click here.

Both undergraduate and graduate students who successfully submit financial aid applications in the fall semester do not need to re-apply in the spring semester.
