Financial aid at AST is needs-based and only returning AST families are eligible. The process requires completing a formal application for financial aid and submitting supporting documents; the deadline for the 2025-2026 school year is September 29, 2025. Awards will not exceed 20% of tuition, and recipients are expected to pay the remaining portion by the reenrollment deadlines; the school documents any financial aid as required by the Moroccan government. If payments are delinquent, the school may withdraw the financial aid and rescind admission.
