Questions
How much is tuition at Aims Community College?
Published in-state tuition and fees are $1,946 per year, and $2,954 for out-of-state students, according to IPEDS 2022 data. This is the sticker price — most students pay less after grants and scholarships.
Is this the price I will actually pay?
Probably not. This is the published sticker price. The average student pays less after federal grants, state aid and institutional scholarships. Use the school's net price calculator — every U.S. college is legally required to have one on its website — for an estimate based on your family's income.
Why is out-of-state tuition higher?
Public colleges are subsidized by state taxpayers, so residents of Colorado pay a lower rate. The difference here is $1,008 per year. Some students establish residency after a year to qualify for the lower rate — the rules vary by state and are stricter than most people expect.
Does tuition include housing and food?
No. The figures above are tuition and required fees only. Room, board, books, transportation and personal expenses are separate and often add $10,000–$20,000 a year for students living on campus.
How current is this data?
These figures come from IPEDS 2022, the U.S. Department of Education's mandatory annual survey of every college that receives federal student aid. Tuition typically rises each year, so treat this as a baseline and confirm current rates on the school's website.
Before you apply
Fill out the FAFSA. It is free and it is how you qualify for federal grants and loans. Many state and school scholarships also require it. Filing early matters — some aid runs out.
Compare the net price, not the sticker price. A $50,000 private college can end up cheaper than a $20,000 public one after aid. Never rule out a school on the published number alone.
Check accreditation. Credits from an unaccredited school usually will not transfer, and employers may not recognize the degree.
