An APU Education Within Your Reach
When it comes to paying for college, students do not pay the full tuition cost, thanks to the support of financial aid such as scholarships, grants, and loans. In fact, at APU, 100% of new students receive some form of financial aid.
Several financial aid options are available to you as an APU student, including academic scholarships, nonacademic or participatory scholarships, grants, and loans. We invite you to explore the following resources to learn more about how an APU degree sets you up for success as you pursue your calling. You can also estimate your true college cost by using the net price calculator.

Loan Repayment
Many students graduate college with some loan debt. With increased employability, statistics show that APU alumni find jobs and start paying back student loans sooner. This increased employability also leads to a significantly lower loan default rate for APU students as compared to graduates of other universities, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
