Financial Aid for Graduate Students

The primary source of financial aid for graduate students is tuition grants. These grants are both merit and need-based, and can cover up to 50 percent of tuition. To be considered for a tuition grant, a financial aid application must be submitted. American citizens and permanent U.S. residents must also file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which can be found at https://fafsa.ed.gov/. The U.S. Department of Education number for The American University of Paris is G07881. 

To renew a tuition grant, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. The majority of these financial aid awards range from 25% to 50% of tuition and the average award amounts to about 30%.
