Types of Financial Aid
APU students may take advantage of three types of financial aid: scholarships and grants, education loans, and student employment.
Scholarships and grants are considered “gift aid” and do not require repayment. They can come from federal, state, or private sources. Scholarships are typically merit-based, meaning they are awarded depending on demonstrated academic ability or other specific talents.
Education loans are usually repaid after graduation, may be deferred until after graduate school, and often have very low interest rates.
On-campus student employment is available for students needing additional income to pay for education-related expenses. APU students also find work off campus in the surrounding community.
