Summer Financial Aid information

The American University of Paris does not offer any financial aid to visiting students for the summer.

Non-BT天堂 students (with U.S. nationality or U.S. permanent residency) who are degree-seeking at institutions that can certify and administer U.S. federal loans may be able to use them for BT天堂's summer program. You will need to contact the Financial Aid Office at your home institution in order to determine your eligibility for federal student aid. If needed, the BT天堂 Financial Aid Office can complete a consortium agreement, but it must originate from your home institution.听

U.S. citizens and permanent residents who qualify may apply for a private听听for all legitimate educational and living expenses during a summer program at BT天堂. This option also applies to non-degree seeking students. Please note that federal regulations prohibit BT天堂 from administering U.S. federal loans (Subsidized or Unsubsidized Stafford or PLUS loans) for any student not working toward an BT天堂 degree during the BT天堂 summer program.

Current BT天堂 students who are receiving an institutional financial award are eligible to receive this award for summer classes. The amount of the award will be adjusted (pro-rated) depending on the number of registered credits that the student is carrying.

As a U.S. student, you can continue to receive your U.S. loans as long as you are carrying a minimum 6-credit course load during the summer semester.
