Undergraduate, Transfer, Returning AIU, Graduate, and Military Students
Talk to a financial advisor and take time to learn about the different types of financial aid available. Military students take time to review the VA’s tools and guides for information on Education Programs. In addition, review your military branch’s tuition assistance policy. If you are a military spouse, review the MyCAA program to see if you qualify for assistance.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) will help you determine your federal financial aid eligibility. The financial information you provide will determine how much aid you may qualify for and what types of funding you may be eligible to receive. Federal Student Aid has an award year that runs from July 1st to June 30th. The FAFSA has a 21-month application cycle that begins on October 1st, nine months before the start of the award year, and ends on June 30th, the last day of the award year.
