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:

1. For students with Private Education Loans (Sallie Mae, Wells Fargo, other)
   • American Sentinel students who secured a Sallie Mae loan to attend American Sentinel may now apply for a 24 month in-school deferment at a cost of $10 per month.
   • American Sentinel students who secured a Wells Fargo loan to attend American Sentinel 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.
   • American Sentinel students who have private education loans (e.g. Career Training, Education Connection, or other similar loans secured through banking institutions like Citibank, SLM and Wells Fargo) may be eligible for loan deferment.

   Students should check with their lender directly since the rules vary greatly from loan to loan and banking institution to banking institution.

2. 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:
