AUB’s financial aid program was developed and has grown to its present level of around $20.4 million in awards annually through the generous support of AUB’s alumni and friends. In 2011-12 the University awarded over $15.6 million in need-based grants and merit scholarships for undergraduates and an additional $4.7 million in funds for graduate assistantships and student employment.

The vast majority of financial aid given by AUB is in the form of need-based grants.  AUB awards financial aid grants to undergraduate students based upon the financial need of a family. Additional need-based aid is provided to all enrolled students in the form of  student loans.  In addition to need-based financial aid, AUB also offers special scholarships based on academic talent. These include full-tuition AUB merit scholarships and partial, small merit awards that supplement need-based grants.

AUB also offers graduate assistantships and a work-study program.
