Paying for Your Education<\/h2>\n

For those who qualify, there are financial aid resources available to assist students with meeting the cost of college, including loans, scholarships, and grants. The Student Financial Services<\/a> department works individually with students to help them understand financial options and payment plans.

AMERICAN INDIAN RECOGNITION FULL TUITION PROGRAM<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Augsburg\u2019s American Indian Recognition Full Tuition Program aims to support and promote the importance of American Indian students on campus. Unlike many public institutions, Augsburg\u2019s program does not limit eligibility to American Indian students who live in the state. The program defines \u201cAmerican Indian\u201d as an enrolled member of any federally recognized American Indian tribe, Alaskan Native Village, or Canadian First Nation, or a direct descendent (child or grandchild) of an enrolled or tribally verified member.<\/p>\n

All students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and any associated required documentation for each academic year they are enrolled. For eligible students with family incomes under $150,000, the program will cover all remaining tuition and fees after federal and state gift aid has been applied. The program will cover 100% of unmet need (defined as tuition and standard fees minus the student\u2019s Estimated Family Contribution from the FAFSA) for eligible students with family incomes above $150,000. Students can apply other scholarships or external financial aid toward costs such as housing, meals, transportation, and books. Please note that changes in any subsequent year\u2019s FAFSA data may result in an adjustment either increasing or decreasing the program amount.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
