Students participating in the American University (AU) Washington Mentorship Program have the option of obtaining a private educational loan to cover the cost of the fall semester. Private student loans can be used for all or a portion of the cost.

Upon matriculation as a degree student in the spring semester, students may be eligible for additional federal and institutional awards.  Students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, for federal and institutional aid consideration.
