Financial Information
AIC offers both need- and merit-based financial aid to transfer students. Once accepted, a student should apply for need-based financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Access to the FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. AIC's code is 002114.
Transfer Scholarships
All full-time undergraduate students transferring from a two or four-year college or university, may be eligible for a transfer academic scholarship. The academic scholarships are renewal as long as you remain a full-time (12 or more credits/semester) undergraduate student. AIC recognizes and rewards academic achievement with the following awards, which are based on a student's earned cumulative grade point average and a minimum of 12 transferrable credits.
| Transfer Scholarships (Effective Feb 2010) | |||
| Transfer Presidential Scholarship | 3.5-4.0 GPA | $9,000 | |
| Transfer Provost Scholarship | 3.0-3.49 GPA | $7,000 | |
| Transfer Opportunity Scholarship | 2.7-2.9 GPA | $5,000 | |
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships
PTK is the honors program at two-year colleges, with specific requirements for becoming a member. For AIC's PTK scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:
- A letter from a PTK advisor verifying you are in good academic standing
- An overall 3.3 or higher GPA
- Minimum of 30 credits earned at the PTK college
| Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships * | |||
| PTK Presidential Scholarship | 3.5-4.0 GPA | $10,000 | |
| PTK Provost Scholarship | 3.3-3.49 GPA | $8,000 | |
* Please note that this scholarship increases the existing Transfer Scholarship - it is not in addition to the Transfer Scholarship. For example, a student meets the criteria for a Transfer Provost Scholarship of $7000 - then qualifies for a PTK Provost of $8000 - the financial aid package will show $8000, not both scholarships. Basically, the PTK scholarship increases the transfer scholarship to the PTK level.
