## About this scholarship

The EmPower Ed program at Aims Community College is a state-funded initiative designed to support students who experienced homelessness while enrolled in a Colorado high school. Administered by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, this program helps eligible individuals cover the remaining balance of their total cost of attendance. The assistance applies after all other private, state, and federal financial aid have been credited to the student's account. The remaining educational costs are split equally between the institution and the state. To access this funding, students must complete the program application or contact the Office of Financial Aid for guidance. While the college requires students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid annually to determine eligibility for general financial aid, applicants should check the official page for current dates and deadlines specific to this program.
