Governmental Student Aid for North American Students
US Federal Student Loans
American students pursuing their studies at AUB may apply for low-interest federal loans offered by the US Treasury in the form of Direct Stafford and PLUS loans. Applications are submitted annually 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 satisfactory academic progress are eligible for these loans.
The financial need of eligible students is assessed by the Office of Financial Aid based on criteria established 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 consumer information portal to provide details about the university and the federal student aid loans it offers, 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.
