Life is Filled with Opportunity Costs

Only here, opportunity just doesn't cost as much.

In addition to keeping costs low, APU offers federal financial aid packages to fit your needs and budget. So you can pursue an affordable degree on your terms, focusing on your work, and your courses. We recommend beginning the process of establishing Federal Student Aid (FSA) funding at least 10 days prior to the month you intend to use FSA. Certain programs are not eligible for federal financial aid, visit our website for a complete list.

Start Registration

Complete the FAFSA

Complete the FAFSA using our code (038193), and, if prompted, we recommend you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Allow 2-3 business days to receive your Student Aid Report and for the school to receive your submitted FAFSA results.
