For 2024-25, IPEDS lists AIU-Atlanta's average full-time undergraduate tuition at $12,867, plus $660 in required fees, for $13,527 in those two published charges. The listed in-state and out-of-state amounts are the same. This is not a complete annual cost of attendance: living expenses, transportation, books, supplies, and personal costs are separate.
In the same IPEDS reporting period, 90% of students received financial aid and 85% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award reported across federal, state, local, institutional, and other grant sources was $6,538. A grant is not a loan, but that average is not an amount every student receives or a figure to subtract automatically from the tuition above.
Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, scholarships, or military education benefits. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the usual starting point for federal aid. Compare the school's individualized aid offer and full cost-of-attendance budget with the amount you would need to pay or borrow for the entire degree; also confirm current charges, since published figures can change.
AIU-Atlanta students should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job or an internship. Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based federal aid earned through an approved job; it is not money paid upfront toward tuition or a guarantee of employment.
Ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study positions are offered to students in the intended program and study format, how jobs are posted, and whether an aid offer must include Work-Study before applying. For career development, separately ask what help is available with résumés, interviews, job searches, and employer contacts. Such services do not establish a graduate employment outcome.
