Financial Aid
AIU London participates in a variety of financial aid programs in the United States and the United Kingdom. U.S. citizens or eligible residents who qualify for U.S. Federal Title IV or other U.S. financial aid programs may consult an AIU Financial Aid Advisor before applying for financial aid. Students must meet all applicable eligibility requirements in order to participate.
Many employers throughout the world offer the benefit of tuition reimbursement to help students pay for their education. Students should investigate every potential option to obtain financing for their education from their home country. Each country has specific rules, eligibility requirements and availability of financial aid support.
AIU administers its financial aid programs in accordance with prevailing U.S. federal, state and local U.K. laws and its own institutional policies. Students are responsible for providing all requested documentation.
The first step in applying for U.S. financial aid is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Once completed, your application will be processed through our Financial Aid Office. U.K. students will need to contact their local Education Authority to participate in U.K. Government programs. All information is kept confidential.
University grants or scholarships are based on established criteria as published in the University's catalog and are awarded after verification that the conditions of eligibility have been met.

However, many different types of private loan programs are available for international students who qualify. We encourage you to check with the appropriate authorities within your home country for assistance programs that may exist for your benefit.
We also encourage you to research outside assistance that may be offered through other organizations, such as your company's human resources department. Many employers offer the benefit of tuition reimbursement to help students pay for their education.
