The Aston American University Academic Excellence Award is given to assist students from disadvantaged, low-income backgrounds or students who display other financial need in completing their degree. This award is also based on academic excellence and involvement in the community. This is available to both domestic and international students who exhibit a clear financial need, which is determined by Aston American University's financial aid officers.
Excellence in prior coursework as demonstrated on a student’s official high school or college transcript is taken into consideration. Ideal candidates for this award will further have demonstrated high levels of leadership, integrity, community involvement, self-motivation, and personal responsibility. Due to rolling enrollment, deadlines for this award happen multiple times throughout the year. Please contact the admission’s office for specific deadlines corresponding to enrollment. This covers up to 40% of tuition.
