Financial Aid

Sources of Financial Aid:

• Government loans
  The Department of Education Stafford Student Loan Program offers funds to students whose families show financial need. Details about this and other aid awards are available from your home institution’s Financial Aid Office.
  
  
• Financial aid from the home institution
  Your college or university may agree to apply aid to your AIFS study program. If you plan to use your financial aid award to pay for all or part of your AIFS fees, you must: (1) apply early at the Financial Aid Office on your campus. This will enable you to receive notification of your award and determine before the final AIFS payment deadline whether you will be financially able to participate; (2) arrange to have documentation sent from the Financial Aid Office or lending institution to AIFS stating the amount of the award and date it will be disbursed. The AIFS Financial Aid Information Form, available from AIFS, must be completed by the financial aid officer at your institution or lending agency and returned to the College Division Summer Programs office in Stamford, CT, prior to the final April 15 payment deadline.

Students who have their financial aid package modified or denied after the AIFS program begins are responsible for full payment. Failure to make immediate payment to AIFS will result in being administratively withdrawn. In this case, no refund or academic credit will be granted.

Most AIFS summer courses are eligible for V.A. tuition grants. Contact the nearest V.A. office for information.

Students may also charge all or a part of the program cost to American Express, MasterCard, or Visa.
