The American University of Armenia is open to all academically qualified applicants regardless of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation.  All matriculated students share in the same rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the University.

The University does not discriminate against students on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation in administering its policies and programs.

While the loan program and many scholarship programs are open to all students, some financial aid is limited by donors (by e.g. gender, citizenship). In such cases, the policies and procedures are equitably administered within such constraints.
