AIU Online Veterans Grant
AIU Online has established a grant for all honorably discharged* Veterans of the U.S. military to assist in providing the opportunity to attend a degree program of study at AIU Online. Veterans may be eligible for up to 10% of program costs**.
To be eligible for the grant and waived application fee, a candidate must be accepted for admission to the University, allow for the verification of their military discharge via a DD-214 Member-4, or comparable government document and complete the AIU Online Veterans Grant Attestation form.
The conditions are as follows:
- The AIU Online Veterans Grant is used exclusively towards prior or current program charges.
- The grant is awarded proportionately over each session in the academic year and the grant percentage will be applied to the academic year tuition costs.
- Qualifying students are Veterans of the U.S. military that have a discharge that is other than dishonorable.
- Candidates must apply and be accepted for admission to the University to be eligible to receive the grant.
- All grants are applied as a credit to the student’s account, and no cash payments will be awarded to the student.
- The grant is non-transferrable and non-substitutable and cannot be combined with any other AIU institutional grant. The grant with the greatest benefit to the student will be applied.
Students selected for membership verification must provide documentation before the grant is disbursed. Documentation must show effective date of membership prior to the first day of class. Students not able to provide documentation will also be required to pay the application fee.
Note: The AIU Online Veterans Grant funding is limited. If funding for the AIU Online Veterans Grant is exhausted, otherwise eligible students may not be awarded the grant.
