Financial Aid at AIMS Education

The Financial Aid Department at AIMS Education is committed to providing responsive, student-centered support to both prospective and current students. Our financial aid advisors are available to guide you and your family through the process of exploring financial assistance options and understanding the costs associated with your education.

We assist students in navigating the financial aid process, including completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and reviewing available funding options. Eligible students may qualify for federal financial aid programs, institutional payment plans, or other forms of assistance designed to help make education more manageable.

Our team is here to answer your questions, explain your options clearly, and help you plan for and meet your financial responsibilities while pursuing your education at AIMS.

Federal School Code: 041364

Be sure to include AIMS Education’s Federal School Code (041364) on your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Adding this code allows AIMS to receive your FAFSA information and determine your eligibility for federal financial aid programs.


Types of Financial Aid

There are three primary types of financial aid that may be available to eligible AIMS Education students. Financial assistance can be offered through federal, state, or local government programs, private organizations, or institutional sources.

Grants - Funds that do not need to be repaid.
Loans - Borrowed funds that must be repaid, typically with interest.
Scholarships - Institutional tuition waivers that reduce the cost of tuition and fees for qualifying students.

Federal Financial Aid Programs

Eligible students may qualify for the following federal programs to help cover tuition and other school-related expenses:

  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
  • Federal Direct Loan Program

Eligibility for federal grants and loans is determined based on federal guidelines, including financial need, enrollment status, and other applicable criteria.

Institutional scholarships, when available, are awarded based on demonstrated financial need and institutional policies.
