Scholarships

A limited number of scholarships are available for qualified applicants.

Pay-Your-Own-Way (PYOW) Option

Students not awarded scholarships or those with external funding may choose to self-finance their participation through the Pay-Your-Own-Way (PYOW) option. If you are applying for or have secured outside funding, please select the PYOW option on the application form. All CASA@AUC/CAASIC applicants, regardless of funding status, must follow the same application procedures and will be evaluated uniformly. After the AUC Selection Committee makes its decisions, we will confirm the PYOW status for those who selected it and assess their external funding status.

Important Note: PYOW expenses for CASA@AUC/CAASIC applicants are subject to change. For more information about tuition and fees, visit the AUC website.
