Financial Aid

American University of the Caribbean is approved for participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Financial aid is awarded on the basis of "need," which is determined from information supplied on the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA). Graduate/professional level students are considered independent by federal regulations for the FFELP, therefore it is not necessary to supply parental information. AUC's school code for completing the FAFSA form is G22444.

Qualified citizens and permanent residents of the United States may be eligible for funding from federal and privately sponsored loan programs to fully cover the cost of attendance (tuition, books & supplies, accommodation and travel).

Recipients of federal loans go through exit counseling prior to graduation, separation or less than half-time attendance. To access the exit counseling session, please click here. Loans will be summarized and terms of repayment, deferment, and responsibility will be reviewed. Student borrowers are awarded loan funds to pay for their education on the basis of a promise to repay after leaving school. Failure to do so can result in adverse consequences.
