AIU Online Freedom Grant

AIU has established the Freedom Grant for active, reserve, inactive military personnel, and their immediate families* with the opportunity to attend a degree program of study at AIU. To be eligible for the Freedom Grant and waived application fee, a candidate must be accepted for enrollment and allow for verification of their military status (or for family members, the relationship to the enrolled student) and sign the Freedom/AIU Veterans Grant Attestation form. University grants or scholarships are based on established criteria as published in the University's catalog and are awarded after verification that the conditions of eligibility have been met.

The conditions are as follows:

  • The Freedom Grant is used exclusively towards prior or current program charges.
  • The grant is awarded proportionately over each session in the program.
  • Qualifying students are active and drilling members of the U.S. military personnel and their immediate families.
  • Candidates must apply and be accepted for admission to the University to be eligible to receive the grant.
  • All grants are applied as a credit to the student's account, and no cash payments will be awarded to the student.
  • The grant is non-transferrable and non-substitutable and cannot be combined with any Education Partner, AIU Veterans Grant or AIU Online Lifelong Learning Grant. The grant with the greatest benefit to the student will be applied.

Students selected for membership verification must provide documentation before the grant is applied. Those that are not able to provide documentation will also be required to pay the application fee.

We strongly support the commitment and dedication of our military!


* Immediate family members: Spouse (life partner) or dependent children only. Siblings, cousins, etc. are not considered an immediate family member.
