Start Here: www.fafsa.ed.gov
In order to be considered for financial aid, AMDA requires that all U.S. citizens and permanent residents complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). You will need to enter AMDA'S SCHOOL CODE – 016082. The FAFSA process is easy:
Apply for a Federal Direct Stafford LoanStafford loans are educational loans that need to be paid back. Loans are guaranteed by the federal government and funded through the United States Department of Education. Students must file a FAFSA form to participate in federal loan programs. Options for Covering the Remaining BalanceAMDA Payment PlansAMDA offers three methods for tuition payment. These include receiving a discount for paying the balance in full, making four scheduled payments or enrolling in an extended payment plan. Grants + ScholarshipsGrants and scholarships are awards that are merit and/or need-based, and which do not need to be repaid. These are awarded to students based on the results of the audition, application and FAFSA. Federal Parent PLUS LoanThrough this government program, a parent or guardian can apply for a non-need-based, low-interest loan. These funds can be applied toward the student's tuition, supplies, housing and other eligible school expenses. Alternative Loan ProgramsParents and students may apply for a range of credit-based, privately funded loans through a bank of their choice. Applicants may borrow up to the cost of the student's attendance less any financial aid as determined by the AMDA financial aid office. Simple Tuition Disclosure |
