Tuition
For the 2017-18 academic year, the cost of AU’s RN-BSN program is $460 per credit hour. Tuition for a full-time student taking 12 credit hours is $5,520 for the semester. Since students may receive credit for courses completed at other colleges or universities, tuition will vary for each student based on how many remaining credit hours they’ll need to complete the 120-credit program.
Applying for Financial Aid
Students interested in applying for financial aid must fill out the FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid. A FAFSA is required regardless of whether the student is seeking federal or state assistance. The application can be found at https://fafsa.ed.gov.
Federal aid can include grants, which don’t have to be repaid, and low-interest loans, which have flexible repayment options. To learn more about federal student aid, visit https://studentaid.ed.gov.
Federal grants such as the Pell Grant and Supplemental Opportunity Educational Grant are based on need as determined by the FAFSA as well as availability of funds therefore you will need to complete the FAFSA by the deadline in order to receive the best Financial Aid package available to you.
Students may also be eligible for the SC Tuition Grants Program, which provides need-based assistance to SC residents. To learn about state tuition grants, visit https://sctuitiongrants.org.
Federal aid is open to students regardless of where they live. SC Tuition Grants are available for students who are South Carolina residents.
