Financial Aid

As a student in the AUA/KMCIC Twinning Program, you are eligible to apply for private educational loans from various private loan lenders. U.S. Citizens and permanent residents, as well as Canadian citizens, are eligible to apply on their own as long as they are credit worthy(no co-signer). It is highly recommended to apply with a co-signer. 

Incoming Students

It is highly recommended that students review their credit and credit score from all three credit bureaus to understand and know their credit rating before making application for a loan. This can be done inexpensively at AnnualCreditReport.com.

Upon acceptance, information about our loan process, as well as our cost of attendance will be sent via email.

Returning Students

A new application is required for every two semester period of enrollment. Applications from Transfer students will be adjusted based upon on the term of entrance/matriculation. All application documents must be submitted to the Registrars Office in Antigua prior to the start of the academic year. Completed Financial Aid folders will be reviewed in conjunction with a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress, which can be reviewed in the Satisfactory Academic Progress section of the Student Handbook.

A Financial Aid Notification Letter indicating eligibility in the alternative loan program will be sent to you. After receiving the Financial Aid Eligibility Letter, the letter must be signed and forwarded to the Registrars Office in Antigua. Once that letter has been received in Antigua, it will then be forwarded to the Registrars Office in the New York Headquarters and processed accordingly.
