Colorado Career and Technical Education (CTE) Short Program Scholarship Application

The Colorado Career and Technical Education (CTE) Short Program Scholarship Application is designed for students at Aims Community College whose primary goal is to complete a short program certificate and enter the workforce. The program covers in-district or in-state tuition, as well as student, administrative, and course fees for the classes required to complete the certificate. It cannot be used to pay outstanding balances owed to the college.

To be considered, students must submit a completed application directly to the Office of Financial Aid on the Greeley campus. While the college generally requires students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to secure financial aid, this specific scholarship is awarded based on individual eligibility and overall program funding. Processing begins after faculty post grades from the prior semester, meaning funds may not be available on the first day of classes. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
