Aims Tuition Promise
Aims Community College strongly believes all Colorado students should have every opportunity to pursue a higher education degree or certificate.
To support this mission, the Aims Tuition Promise program will cover tuition for eligible Colorado residents meeting the following Total Family income requirements:
- In-District Residents: A family's total income of $100,000 or less
- In-State / Out-of-District Residents: A family's total income under $65,000
- Independent Students (typically over the age of 24) who are In-State / Out-of-District: A total income under $50,000
How It Works
An affordable education is possible at Aims. The Aims Tuition Promise program applies to Fall and Spring semesters each academic year. Aims will factor in a combination of federal, state, institutional aid and any other scholarships to pay your tuition. After those programs are applied, Aims will make up the difference.
To qualify for Aims Tuition promise, you need to be an Aims student and meet these criteria:
- Colorado residency for tuition purposes
- FAFSA completed for the academic year
- CASFA completed if you’re an ASSET student
- Seeking a degree or certificate without a prior bachelor’s degree
- Enrolled in six or more credits that count toward your program of study
- In good Satisfactory Academic Progress status as defined by the Aims Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress policy
- Completed and submitted all required documentation for financial aid verification and packaging
Next Steps
Here's what you need to get started:
- Step 1: If you haven't yet, apply for FAFSA or CASFA. Not sure which applies to you? Contact the Financial Aid office at financial.aid@aims.edu or (970) 339-6548
- Step 2: Apply to Aims and seek admission to a degree or certificate program.
- Step 3: Enroll in six or more credits that count toward your degree or certificate.
The program begins the Fall 2026 semester.
There is no separate application beyond applying to Aims and applying for Financial Aid.
When you apply for FAFSA or CASFA and are admitted and enrolled at Aims, you’ll receive a financial aid offer including your eligibility for federal, state, institutional and scholarship aid to cover your tuition. If you meet the financial eligibility requirements (an in-district family total income under $100,000, an in-state/out-of-district family total income of less than $65,000, or an independent total family income of $50,000 or less), after these financial aid programs are applied, Aims will make up the difference.
You are eligible if you meet the following criteria:
- Colorado resident
- FAFSA (or CASFA, if you’re an ASSET student) is completed for the academic year
- You’re seeking a degree or certificate and do not have a prior bachelor’s degree
- Enrolled in six or more credits that count toward your program of study
- You are in good Satisfactory Academic Progress status as defined by the Aims Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress policy
- You have completed and submitted all required documentation for financial aid verification and packaging
If you meet the financial eligibility requirements (an in-district family total income under $100,000, an in-state/out-of-district family total income of less than $65,000, or an independent total family income of $50,000 or less), after all federal, state, institutional and scholarship aid is calculated, Aims will cover the rest of your tuition.
Only tuition is covered, not fees, books, housing or any other related college expenses.
You will be notified with your financial aid offer from the Office of Financial Aid.
Other than needing to apply for FAFSA or CASFA each academic year, but no other application steps are required.
For as long as you meet the Aims Tuition Promise eligibility criteria.
Aims Tuition Promise only applies to Fall and Spring semesters.

“Total Family Income” refers to the combined income reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the people whose financial information is required on the form. Who is included depends on whether the student is considered dependent or independent for financial aid purposes.
For dependent students:
Total family income includes the income reported for:
- The student, and
- The student’s parent(s) whose financial information is required on the FAFSA (including a stepparent, if applicable).
For independent students:
Total family income includes the income reported for:
- The student, and
- The student’s spouse, if the student is married.
Income amounts are generally based on the federal tax information imported or reported on the FAFSA for the applicable tax year.
If you have questions about which parent or household members must be included, visit the FAFSA instructions or contact the Office of Financial Aid at financial.aid@aims.edu or call (970) 339-6548.
