## About this scholarship

The FosterED program at Aims Community College provides financial assistance to students who have experienced foster care or non-certified kinship care in Colorado on or after their 13th birthday. This state-funded program is designed to cover the total cost of attendance at public institutions of higher education within Colorado. 

The program operates as a last-dollar funding source. This means it pays for the remaining balance of a student's total cost of attendance after all other financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and other awards, has been applied to their account. To coordinate this assistance, students should complete the FAFSA or state financial aid applications so their other eligible aid can be processed first. Students who believe they qualify must notify the Office of Financial Aid to initiate the process. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
