• To receive your award, cumulative GPA must be 2.5 or above for the previous semester and students must register in not less than 12 credit hours.

Important Notes

• There is no financial aid offered in the summer or winter sessions.
• In making decision about how much of your financial need AUC can meet, we established 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, and a philosophy regarding a minimum amount that parents should be able to pay for educational expenses at AUC.
• 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.

Current students already on financial aid must apply for renewal of their financial aid every academic year if they continue to demonstrate financial need.

How to Apply?

• Submit a renewal form on Banner Self-Service every academic year.
• No documents are required unless requested by the office.

Eligibility

• Must achieve the cumulative GPA previously stated in the decision letter before the start of the semester.
• Be registered in at least 12 credit hours.

Important Notes

• The University reserves the right to request from any student to apply for a reassessment application where the student has to submit a new application and upload new updated documents.
• The University reserves the right to review awards and awards are subject to decrease or cancellation at any given semester.
• Financial aid is not offered in the summer or winter session.

• 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.

Eligibility Criteria

• Must achieve the cumulative GPA previously stated in the decision letter before the start of the semester.
• Be registered in at least 12 credit hours.

Important Notes

• 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 (previous award will be subject to increase, decrease or cancellation).
• 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.
