And don’t forget, this is just the tip of the iceberg—most AIC students also receive additional financial aid once their financial aid documentation is received. Fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to find out if you are eligible.

You can learn more about different types of financial aid and ways to make AIC affordable for you on the AIC Financial Aid page.
