Alumni Referral Scholarship

Alumni often look back at their American InterContinental University (AIU) experiences as some of the most fulfilling and memorable of their lives. AIU has established the Alumni Referral Scholarship as a way to recognize AIU Alumni and benefit their newly referred students. Now, someone you know can have the opportunity for the same experience and receive a $1,000 scholarship once all below conditions have been met.

Alumni referring new students who successfully follow and complete all following conditions below will:

• Have a scholarship in their name awarded to that new student (example John Smith Alumni Scholarship),
• be featured on the AIU marketing site (aiuniv.edu),
• be featured in AIU Ink (Alumni Magazine), and
• receive a certificate of honor confirming that their scholarship has been given to a new AIU student.

All recognition pieces will be given to the referring Alumni after the student has successfully completed the first quarter of enrollment and achieved initial eligibility for the scholarship.

The referred new student will receive up to a $1,000 scholarship awarded in even increments over two academic terms and applied to each subsequent academic session so long as all following conditions continue to be met.
