Many students receive some form of financial aid to assist them in financing their education. The Art Institute Online provides "financial planning" for its students. This means that we can provide a payment plan that will allow you to budget for your program, one academic year at a time. Our goal in Student Financial Services is to make your payments as affordable for you as possible. Let your Assistant Director of Admissions (ADA) know that you are interested in applying for aid, so that he/she can set up an appointment for you to talk to the school's Admissions Coordinator and/or Student Financial Services Department.
