When choosing a college we believe that the focus should be on selecting the best fit for your educational needs. Whether you are considering attending, or you've already chosen American University as the transformational environment that will stimulate and inspire you into a lifetime of passion for education and knowledge that will effect change, we understand that financing your education is a reality.

In Washington, D.C., and across the nation, student debt, loan rates and college affordability have become increasingly important issues since the start of the recession. The fragile economy and job market have created uncertainty for students and families across the country.

However, unlike a commodity, the value of a quality education does not fluctuate. 

American University is committed to using all of its resources to help motivated students attain their educational goals. We’ve developed these tools and resources to help students and their families understand and manage their personal finances to take the actions that best fit their educational situations.

We look forward to working with you regarding financing an AU education.
