Generous individuals and organizations, primarily in Northern Colorado, make gifts to improve student success at Aims Community College through the Aims Foundation. Since 1979, donors have provided private contributions for student scholarships, to enhance program offerings and to upgrade buildings and equipment. Supporters of Aims also attend special events to benefit educational opportunities at the College.
In 2006, the Aims Foundation launched the Building for Tomorrow Today Capital Campaign to provide both construction and equipment support for new facilities on campus, and new scholarship funds to meet the current and future needs of students who choose Aims.
In 2009-2010, the Foundation will provide more than $100,000 in student scholarship support to help community members achieve their dreams. Generous donors to the Foundation scholarship program provide a legacy to northern Colorado by helping families achieve self-sufficiency. New scholarships like the College Promise Scholarship Fund, the Shane Stewart Memorial Endowment, George Chisholm Scholarship, Bill and Audrey Trimble Scholarship, Ryan Weeks Endowment, Dale Majors Endowment, and Ruth Slomer Scholarship will add to the substantial scholarship effort offered by the Aims Foundation.
To receive scholarship information, contact the Financial Aid Office. If you would like to contribute to Aims Community College, contact the Aims Foundation at 970.339.6556. To donate on-line, go to www.aims.edu/foundation.

Making a Difference
The College Promise Scholarship was established by community leaders. It is a new scholarship program for School District 6 students who plan to attend Aims Community College after high school graduation. The money will provide up to $2,500 for tuition, books and fees.
The Shane Stewart Memorial Endowment Scholarship
Family members of Shane Stewart established a lasting legacy through an endowment at Aims. Now, students who choose Emergency Medical Services or Fire Science coursework may qualify for private gift support due to this scholarship fund. This is just one example how donor generosity provides a sustainable and positive impact on our community.
