Financial Aid

AIC does not offer federal loans (FAFSA) at this time. AIC strives to offer its own internal financial assistance to students who demonstrate need while maintaining good overall academic standing. Typically, AIC’s financial aid awards do not exceed the difference between estimated college costs and the anticipated support from all other sources. Students who wish to apply for financial assistance should notify the AIC Registrar and fill out the AIC Financial Aid Form. Financial assistance is limited, and so students are encouraged to apply early.

Scholarships

American Islamic College awards partial tuition scholarships to students who demonstrate high academic performance. Students must maintain good academic standing in order for the scholarship to be renewed. Review of the student’s academic standing occurs in January, annually. There is no separate application for the scholarship. Please indicate that you would like to be considered for the scholarship in your application.

If a student has been awarded the scholarship, then a letter will be issued outlining the details. Letters of scholarship renewal will be distributed every January.

Scholarships are available to both part-time and full-time undergraduate and graduate students.

Graduate Student Assistant Fellowship

Graduate students at AIC in need of financial assistance to continue their coursework may apply for the Graduate Student Assistant Fellowship. The Graduate Student Assistant Fellowship is granted on a case by case basis. The tuition assistance is for one semester but may be renewable. The student is required to reapply each semester if their need persists. As a condition of the fellowship, the student will be required to complete a work-study arrangement matching their skill set with the needs of the college.

Typically GSA fellowships require 30 hours of service in exchange for tuition remission equivalent to one 3 credit course. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Deadline to apply for the Spring 2025 semester is Friday, December 6, 2024

For inquiries into the Graduate Student Assistant Fellowship, please contact the Student Support Services Coordinator at smirza@aicusa.edu.

Work-Study Program

American Islamic College has limited part-time opportunities for AIC students. Priority is given to students who need to finance their education at AIC. Students who wish to join our AIC-based Work-Study Program should contact the Office of Student Services. Students employed under this program are not permitted to work more than 20 hours per week during the academic term and may not work during scheduled class times.

Payment

American Islamic College expects all students to pay the year’s tuition by the first week of class. Students who wish to pay tuition using the monthly installment plan should contact the registrar’s office for further information.

The College is committed to granting scholarships to all students demonstrating qualification and need, as long as they maintain satisfactory academic progress for each year of study.

Refund Policy

Non-attendance in a course does not constitute official withdrawal. Students who are registered in a course and yet fail to attend are held responsible both academically and financially for that course. Refunds are given only when the student officially withdraws with the knowledge and permission of the Registrar’s Office. The following schedule is applied to registration costs (both credit and audit) and tuition-fees only. All fees and room charges are non-refundable.

For a 15-week semester
First day: Full refund
First week: 85%
Second week: 50%

Beyond the third week: No refund
