US Federal Student Loans
Student loans are available for American students pursuing their studies at AUB. These low-interest loans are offered by the US Treasury in the form of Direct Stafford and PLUS loans. Applications are submitted yearly online at
https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. Students who are American citizens or permanent residents, enrolled at AUB in a regular degree program, and maintaining a satisfactory academic progress are eligible for these loans.
The need of eligible students is assessed by the Financial Aid Office based on established criteria by the US Federal Student Aid program. Students must start repaying these loans after graduation following a six-month grace period.
AUB and its Office of Financial Aid have developed a portal for obtaining consumer information about the university and its offered federal student aid loans as part of its response to the Higher Education Act (HEOA) of 1965, as amended. The university discloses general information and reports on various policies, procedures, and operations related to academic programs, admissions and financial aid, student outcomes, and health and safety.
