Tuition & Financing

A Merit-Based Scholarship is awarded to a student for excellent study results, fulfilling conditions set forth by the President and published in the Scholarship Policy.

Every term, AAU will disburse the Merit-Based Scholarship (5.0% of tuition revenues collected from degree-seeking students in the given term (MBS fund)). The MBS fund is created and disbursed separately at each school (with tuition revenues from Law students enrolled in the University of London programs reserved directly for the Law Scholarship fund). The MBS applies to AAU tuition. It does not apply to AAU fees.

AAU Degree Programs

The MBS is awarded to degree-seeking students in AAU degree programs who have completed at least 60 ECTS credits or 30 US credits at AAU and meet the following conditions:

– Students must have completed at least 5 courses for credit during their previous semester of which at least 4 courses must be taken in the previous obligatory term (i.e. Spring or Fall term).
(Note: The Fall semester consists of a Fall term and a Winter term; the Spring semester consists of a Spring term and a Summer term. That is, a student is eligible if they complete, for example, four courses in the Fall term and one in the Winter term.)

– Students must have no “Incomplete” grades, with the exception of the course if it was taken as the student’s 6th course during the previous semester.

– The student must not have elected to take any letter-grade courses on a pass/fail basis.

– Students returning from the exchange program must transfer all 5 courses in order to be eligible for the MBS the next term. It means that for example students transferring fewer than 5 courses (even if they have paid for 5 courses) are not eligible for the MBS because they do not meet a condition of 5 courses completed for credit during their previous semester.

– MBS is awarded to all courses registered in the given term (e. g. if a student takes 6 courses during fall or spring term, all 6 courses will be covered by the MBS).

– If a student returns from a leave of absence and is eligible for MBS based on their cumulative GPA prior the interruption of studies, they are eligible for MBS for the current semester (e.g. if a student is eligible after Spring 2021 semester, takes a leave of absence in Fall 2021, then they are eligible in Spring 2022).

– A students’ GPA is calculated cumulatively from the beginning of the studies in a program at AAU.

– The value of the scholarship is calculated within three weeks of the end of the add/drop period of the term to which the Merit-Based Scholarship applies.

– Students who register for courses in the next semester prior to the end of the current semester are assigned tuition that does not yet reflect the Merit-based Scholarship. Eligible students who have already paid tuition may elect to receive either a refund or tuition credit for future studies.

Criteria for disbursement of AAU Degree Programs MBS

– Top 2% of the students of the school = 100% of tuition awarded.
– Top 4% of the students of the school excluding those in the previous category = 50% of tuition awarded.
– Top 8% of the students of the school excluding those in the previous category = 25% of tuition awarded.
– Remaining students of the school in order of GPA until the MBS fund is exhausted = 10% of tuition awarded.

Law Scholarship Fund for LLB and Certificate programs

Every year, AAU will disburse 5% of AAU tuition revenues from Law students enrolled in the University of London LLB and CertHE programs at AAU. This will be placed into the Law Scholarship Fund, which is an MBS for Law Students. The Law Scholarship Fund for Law Students (LLB and CertHE) will be based only on their University of London (UOL) examination marks. MBS can only be awarded to LLB and Certificate students who completed 5 year-long courses (or an equivalent combination of the semester and year-long courses) for credit during their previous active academic year at AAU. The MBS will be awarded for the whole academic year at its beginning and applies to all courses taken in the given academic year.

Conditions

– Law students must have received at least two UOL examination results in order to be eligible for the scholarship.

– The calculated average will be cumulative, covering all UOL examination marks the students have earned in their studies as of August of the relevant following academic year.

-The Law Student Scholarships will be calculated after the May/June examination results are in (generally in August following the examinations) and will be applied to the following academic year. (Ie., May/June 2022 examination results are released in August 2022). The Scholarship will be calculated based on all examination results that the student has earned as of August 2022 and will be applied to the 2022/23 Academic Year – Fall & Spring semesters. The October 2022 examination results will only be considered when determining the 2023/24 and subsequent academic years).

– The fund for the Law Student Scholarships will be distributed to those two (2) students, according to the criteria below, across both the Fall and Spring semesters for the academic year in which the Scholarship is applied. In the event that there are remaining funds that exceed the top two (2) students’ tuition fees for the academic year, then the remaining funds will be distributed to the student with the third-highest average examination marks.

Criteria for disbursement of Law Scholarships

– Student with the highest average examination marks from the previous UOL examinations (all examinations taken before August of the current Academic Year). A minimum of 2 UOL examination marks are required to be eligible = 60% of the Law Scholarship Fund

– Student with the second highest average examination marks from the previous UOL examinations (all examinations taken before August of the current Academic Year). A minimum of 2 UOL examination marks are required to be eligible = 40% of the Law Scholarship Fund

– In the event that there are any remaining funds after the first and second students have had all tuition for that academic year covered by their awards, then the surplus will be awarded to the student with the third highest average examination marks from the previous UOL examinations (all examinations taken before August of the current Academic Year). A minimum of 2 UOL examination marks are required to be eligible) = Any remaining funds.
