Scholarships & Grants

UNIVERSITY TRANSFER GRANT

The University Transfer Grant is designed to enhance collaboration between educational institutions and facilitate continued higher education for international students. It is offered to students from Universities and Colleges or English as a Second Language programs within the United States who transfer their I-20 to American National University or its affiliates. The grant is a lifetime maximum award of $750, credited to the student’s account during their first term of enrollment, and is non-renewable. The lifetime maximum award may be exceeded by an additional $750 in the event a student transfers to American National University or its affiliates due to the completion of a degree. This grant may not be combined with any other grant or scholarship program and is available to students who enroll before May 15, 2026.

ANU LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP

American National University is proud to support its international alumni who continue to pursue academic and professional advancement. The ANU Legacy Merit Scholarship is a one-time, non-renewable merit award of $750, designed to recognize and assist international students (on an active I-20 status) who have previously completed a degree at ANU and return to pursue a second or higher degree at the university or its affiliates.

To qualify for the merit scholarship, applicants must have completed and earned a prior degree from American National University that included at least 135 credit hours toward a bachelor’s degree, or 42 credit hours toward a master’s degree. The scholarship is awarded as a lifetime maximum of $750, credited to the student’s account during their first term of re-enrollment.

In cases where a student transfers to ANU or one of its affiliates after completing a degree, the lifetime maximum may be exceeded by an additional $750. The scholarship cannot be combined with any other scholarship program and is only available to students who enroll before May 15, 2026.

This scholarship supports our legacy of education and global connection, continuing the tradition of excellence for our international alumni.

REFER A FRIEND GRANT

Sharing the ANU experience just got even more rewarding! Through our Refer a Friend Grant, current students have the exciting opportunity to help friends, family, or colleagues take the next step in their education—while giving them a head start with a $750 grant. When an applicant student that is referred by a current student, enrolls at American National University, they will receive a $750 grant applied directly to their first term. It is a great way to support someone’s future while helping build a strong and successful ANU community.

Transfer of Credits

Acceptance of transfer credits (up to 50% for Graduate level students).

One of American National University’s goals as a higher-educational institution is to provide students with seamless transitions in advancing their education to new levels. We do this through a variety of ways:

Our “Progressive Learning Path” where each of our degrees feeds into the next degree level, from our diploma and certificate programs all the way to our graduate degrees.

We accept credits for life/work experience and previous educational credits. The transfer credit review process for applying life/work experience and previous educational credits is easily accessible at American National University and free.

And through our Academic Partnerships Agreements with other higher-educational institutions across the country. Academic Partnership Agreements allow students, such as yourself, to maximize your degree potential and further your career goals. They remove roadblocks hindering credit transfer and admissions into programs, and allow you to easily move to the next degree level at American National University

 Build the foundation of your goals at American National University.
