Financial Assistance

An Augustana education is an investment that will stand the test of time. Our 98% placement rate in graduate schools and full-time positions after graduation means that whatever you choose to do—right after college and into your future—your Augustana education will get you there.

There are many sources of assistance to help make your education more affordable. Each year, Augustana awards more than $28 million in institutional funds. Another $26.5 million is awarded in the form of state, federal and private grants and loans.

Please visit the various financial assistance pages which will familiarize you with the types of assistance available and how to apply for them.  Additionally, information regarding paying the remaining costs is provided on the Financing & Payment page.

Our financial assistance staff is happy to provide guidance on financing your college education.

The 2009-2010 Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan Request Form is now available.  Although you may submit the 09/10 Request Form to our office now, we will not begin processing PLUS Loan credit checks until the end of June.  Each PLUS request requires a credit check that is valid for 90 days.  Processing the request forms at the end of June will prevent the need for multiple credit checks prior to disbursement of funds.
