Several financial aid options are available for those who qualify. If you are a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen and would like to take out Federal student loans to cover costs, you will first need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and have the results sent to the University of Dayton—our school code is 003127. Valid FAFSAs will then allow us to create a financial aid award offer.

If your tuition is being funded through the Air Force or another agency, you will need to select your course from the AI Portal and have it approved by your supervisor, who will then notify UD’s Office of Student Accounts. Funds will be sent directly to us.

If you will receive funding from your employer or organization based on course completion and/or grades, and you would like to defer payments, your employer will need to submit a letter of sponsorship to us. You may then sign up for our Deferment Plan for UD's Employer Reimbursement.
