Once you submit your financial aid along with your admission application, your application will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Office. We ensure that all applications go through a rigorous review process that ensures that all applicants get a fair chance of consideration.
Depending on the financial aid offering you applied for, the following are the decisions to expect regarding your financial aid application.
Offered
If an application is approved, the student is informed that they have been offered either a scholarship or a grant equal to a certain amount.
- Grant recipients will be required to accept the offer and pay their tuition instalment in order to accept the grant offering.
- Scholarship recipients will be required to sign the scholarship contract offered to them before the specified deadline.
Waitlisted
This means that your application has been reviewed and found to have merit, you however need to meet all pending admissions requirements to be considered for the ALU scholarships. If you have met all the necessary requirements and scholarship slots are still available, you will be among the first to be considered for the ALU scholarships
Declined
For grant applicants, this means that based on the information you provided us, your application does not qualify for financial aid. For scholarship applicants, this means your scholarship application was unsuccessful. Our scholarship applications are competitive and unfortunately, we only have limited slots at any given time. Should you not be selected for a scholarship, we may however instead opt to offer you one of the available Grants.
