The American University of Paris is sensitive to the financial pressure that may arise over the payment of each semester’s tuition. As a result, the University has developed three payment plans to meet different students’ needs. Under all plan's tuition must be paid in full before classes begin.ÌýThese options are available only to full-time students.
Full-time students may choose to pay for a full academic year (fall and spring semesters) before the start of the fall semester. Tuition and fees must be received by 01 July, whether in one or more payments. Students using this plan benefit from a tuition reduction of €500, thus making full tuition €35,084.ÌýYearly payments may not begin during the spring semester.
The Yearly Payment Plan with the 500 € tuition reduction is not available to students receiving any financial aid awards.ÌýThese awards include all need and merit-based awards, federal and private student loans as well as IB Scholarships.ÌýNote: Exceptionally, students receiving The Alumni Scholarship only, can still have access to the Yearly Payment Plan reduction.ÌýÌý
