AUM offering more than $11 million in assistance to students
With the COVID-19 pandemic creating financial hardships for college students and families nationwide, AUM has committed an all-time high of more than $11 million in scholarships and other forms of student support as it prepares to resume face-to-face classes for the fall semester.
Scholarships account for $8.5 million of that total funding, while AUM expects to return $2.5 million to students through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The university will also offer free laptop computers to freshman students enrolling for the Summer and Fall 2020 semesters.

Summer Payment Plan available
A payment plan for Summer 2020 is now available through June 12.
Celebrating the Spring 2020 graduates
While we can’t hold our usual May commencement ceremony in-person this weekend, we can still celebrate our spring Class of 2020.
Check out our ongoing series of Graduate Spotlights on our Facebook and Instagram pages, where you’ll find features on outstanding students like Elizabeth Meads and Karen Licari, among others.
AUM Chancellor Carl A. Stockton shared his congratulations with the Spring Class of 2020 virtually, and we look forward to celebrating with graduates in-person on August 15.
