MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM RECOGNIZES ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
A family's ability to finance a quality college education is often a challenge. American International College has prudently managed its financial resources which has resulted in making the College among the most affordable, four-year private colleges in the northeast. Nearly 80% of the College's students receive some sort of financial aid, with the average total financial aid package being nearly $14,000. While a substantial portion of the aid is need-based, the College believes strongly in recognizing the academic achievement of its students. The graph below provides some general guidelines summarizing the various merit-based programs. The decision regarding eligibility for any of the scholarships listed below is made at the time of admission and is not based on financial need.
