In an effort to better serve our students, we offer Electronic Award Letters. The Financial Aid Office will email a link to your Initial Financial Aid Award Letter for the 2009-2010 academic year once we receive the report from your 2009-2010 FAFSA and the Amridge Financial Aid Application. You will have an opportunity to review the awards and then accept, decline or reduce the awards online. It will be necessary to click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the award page to finalize your awards. You'll find more information on the awards and the specific eligibility requirements by clicking on the name of each award.  Any additional documentation required will be noted in an email from the Amridge Financial Aid Office. If corrections are necessary a Revised Financial Aid Award Letter will be emailed.

Additional Federal Student Loan Programs

The Federal GradPLUS Loan is available to graduate/professional students.  This loan is in addition to the Federal Stafford Loans.  To be eligible the student must be credit worthy and complete a separate application and MPN.

The Federal PLUS Loan is available to dependent undergraduate students.  This is a parent loan; therefore, the parent must be credit worthy.  This will require a separate application and MPN.  A student may qualify for additional Stafford Funds if the PLUS Loan is denied.
