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).
