American Sentinel's status as a Title IV eligible, non-participating institution means students benefit in two ways, depending on your current situation:
You may be eligible for an in-school loan payment deferment, and/or you may be eligible for tax credits. Here is the detail you'll need to determine your situation. Also, please carefully read the Q&As.
In-School Loan Deferment
As a student at American Sentinel University, you may be eligible to defer your tuition payments if you are currently using either of the following ways to pay your tuition:
- For students with Private Education Loan (Wells Fargo)
- American Sentinel students who previously secured a Wells Fargo loan to another school and who are currently making monthly payments may apply for an in-school deferment for a maximum of 5 years from the date of disbursement.
Students should check with their lender directly since the rules vary greatly from loan to loan and banking institution to banking institution.
- For students with Stafford, FFEL, or Direct Loans
American Sentinel students who already have government funded/labeled Title IV loans may file for an in-school deferment of their payments.
- Students will not have to make payments on these loans while they are enrolled.
- Students must be enrolled in a program leading to a degree
- In order to continue deferment, students will need to make progress toward their expected graduation date.
In either case, here is the information you need:
