COST OF EDUCATION

AIC makes every effort to keep educational costs to students as low as possible. Student fees pay only a portion of the College's operating expenses each year. Supporting districts, churches, interested groups, and hundreds of individuals subsidize the operating budget of the College. This represents a sizable investment in every student's education. While the College depends largely on outside financial support, students must meet some educational costs.
