Note: a transcript is only considered official if it is sent directly to Aims from your previous college (electronically) or arrives in a sealed envelope (physical mail). Transcripts that have been opened before delivery to Aims and electronic transcripts that are sent to the student first and then forwarded to Aims will both be considered unofficial.
This is optional, but it's free to apply. You may qualify for:
Grants and Scholarships (generally, not paid back)
Loans (must be paid back)
Work Study (work part-time to earn money while attending Aims)
It's best to apply at least two months before classes begin. Many students apply as early as January to get help paying for classes that start in August.
