Scholarship Conditions

AUI scholarship is predicated on the following conditions:

• Scholarships are granted for specific programs and are not transferable to other programs outside the school to which the scholarship recipients were initially accepted.

• All scholarship holders must take an active part in AUI student activities, particularly in the area of community service. Graduate scholarship students benefiting from tuition waiver or more must provide services to AUI by holding unpaid part-time jobs as assigned by the Financial Aid Office in different departments or schools at AUI.

• Scholarship holders can apply for the Exchange Program for one semester only (or for one year when required by the school program) taking a minimum of 15 transferable credits. However, if the student takes fewer than the recommended full time load, s/he should be aware that s/he runs the risk of needing more than nine semesters, in which case, s/he will have to pay for additional courses beyond the ninth semester.

• Students are allowed to use their scholarships during summer sessions as long as they are in good academic standing without exceeding the total budget committed for the scholarship period.
