@Lana22 then hit “2016-2017 FA”
thanks!
I just checked my loan adjustments and discovered I was awarded a substantial amount in grants possibly due to my financial status? (my mother makes less than 40,000 a year) However, I was not awarded a dean’s scholarship which is fine by me because my grants apparently cover a good portion of what I would be paying! Im praying that this is for real!!!
@HalfAButtonPress I am praying for you as well! What a blessing it would be for you and your family. My D can only see the $5,500 Stafford loans but we know she will not receive any financial aid. It looks like she has been accepted to the School of International Service (which is very hard to get into). We are praying for SIS-Global Scholars. She has already been accepted to Loyola-Chicago with a $100,000 scholarship which is awesome!
@HappyFace2018 I was accepted to loyola chicago as well!
@TX2016 What a blessing!! So no matter what happens with any other college you are going to a great college!! We loved everything about Loyola! From the new Damien Center to the beautiful library (right on Lake Michigan!) we love it! My D was actually accepted to Loyola and the Rome Start Program! We are heading to the Loyola Weekend (and the Scholars Event at the Field Museum!).
@HappyFace2018 That’s so great to hear! I am not too sure I will be going there because I got into two schools that I am more interested in!!! I was planning on attending loyola weekend as well but its the same weekend that I am in a fashion show so I wont be able to attend!
@TX2016 No worries. Having choices is awesome!
I’m confused, I’ve looked everywhere on my AU portal and I can’t find the “finances” tab that would have my financial aid reward. Can someone please help? I’m freaking out!!
@LailaSultani perhaps you are viewing the prospective student portal. we are talking about this portal https://myau.american.edu/
And how do I gain access to that portal?

It said my info didn’t match their records… I’m very upset because I thought I would definitely get into AU because my application was quite strong…
Get a grip people! Patience is a virtue. Why must people always want to beat the system and then complain?
Where were people able to see their majors?
@wilddaffodils click academics at the top of the home screen, then under popular links on the right click “degree audit”
Can someone please tell me where to check for Financial Aid? I’ve got the portal, and I click on the Financial Aid Tab…but which one are you all looking at in the collection of Financial Aid information???
^ loan adjustments tab
@HeyItsNick THANK YOU!
So it look like I won’t get any Merit aid, nor have I been admitted to the honors program, but I did get into SIS for my top choice major and I did get enough financial aid to attend. Things are looking good!
@helenanca please note that those numbers are subject to change until you get your acceptance/award letter in the mail! So I wouldn’t look too carefully at those numbers right now.
