Financial Aid
The Office of Financial Aid provides a variety of financial aid programs and services to help Aims Community College students understand and meet their educational costs.
Aims is dedicated to limiting debt through the following:
- keeping tuition and fees at a reasonable rate
- awarding grant funds to eligible students based on funds available
- encouraging students to apply for scholarships and/or to work on campus and
- educating students on borrowing and repaying student loans.
Our office offers in-person FAFSA help sessions each Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Trio Offices, Room 240 in the Student Commons.
If you are unable to attend a FAFSA help session, we will offer by appointment, in-person and Zoom sessions to help students and their families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are required to complete a FAFSA once a year prior to the fall semester. Contact our office via email or phone to schedule an appointment for a one on one FAFSA help session, please be sure to complete your FSA ID prior to your appointment.
