All Special Academic Programs, including PPL, have an application deadline of December 1. Applicants will need to submit a Common/Coalition Application to create their Future Eagle Portal, which is needed to then apply for a special program. PPL Scholar applicants must complete the PPL Scholars Program Application.

Please note that this is a separate application from your admissions application. It is possible that you may be accepted for admission to American University but not to the PPL Scholars Program. Your admissibility into the PPL Scholars Program will have no adverse affect on your admission to the university.

Current AU/SPA students are not eligible to apply for admission into the PPL Scholars Program, as the program is designed for incoming freshmen.
