Scholarships are awarded by the academic departments. The Financial Aid office does not administer these awards.

The deadline for most scholarship applications is February 1. Please contact the graduate admissions office at your school or college for more information on applications and deadlines.

Restricted/Endowed Awards

A limited number of private AU scholarships that are funded annually or through an endowment by gifts from donors are available. Eligible applicants are automatically reviewed and a separate scholarship application is not required. Criteria may be based on merit, academic program, need or other factors as designated by the donor.

Awards are not announced until after the start of the fall semester. Awards range from $100 to $10,000 and are not renewable.
