PnwParent,

I applied RD from Ohio and received my acceptance letter yesterday. My parents filed FAFSA/CSS and I received a separate sheet of paper with my acceptance letter that details each award, what amount they total for fall/spring semester, and there is a box to accept and decline each award individually. The back of the page details the different types of awards that AU offers and when you create an Admitted Students account, the details are online regarding the requirements to renew the scholarships each year. Online, you then have the ability to electronically accept and decline awards if you do not choose to do so on the hard copy which would have to be sent back into American. I would call American and ask. I called yesterday and my parent called today to clarify any questions we had about financial aid, and if you give them your AU ID, they are very helpful at helping you understand everything on the letter and answering any questions.

I hope this helps!
