Application Fee & Additional Costs
Application fee: US$100 (non-refundable).
Tuition is separate from any applicable registration, examination, laboratory, technology, clinical-placement/onboarding, graduation, immigration, travel, accommodation, transportation, health insurance, credential-evaluation, external examination, or other third-party charges.
The student’s written offer and current fee schedule govern actual charges. Location-specific clinical costs may apply to U.S., Canada, or other international placements.
Before paying: Rely only on a current GAU invoice, written offer, or official payment instruction. Recruitment agents and third parties may not alter GAU tuition, guarantee scholarships, or promise licensure or placement outcomes.
Financial Aid
Financial support is limited and is never guaranteed by admission.
GAU Scholarships
A limited number of full or partial scholarships may be offered based on current funding, eligibility criteria, academic standing, and institutional priorities.
Payment Plans
Approved students may be eligible for installment arrangements under the University’s current tuition-payment policy. Terms must be confirmed in writing.
External Financing
Students may explore bank or private education financing where available. Any external loan is governed by the lender, not by GAU.
GAU Foundation
Where donor-funded scholarship opportunities are available, eligible students may be invited to apply under the published criteria for that fund.

- Visa/immigration and travel documentation
- Health insurance and health-screening requirements
- Clinical-site onboarding and compliance costs
