STUDENT COMPUTER INITIATIVE
The Student Computer Initiative requires all AAMI students to own or have access to a personal computer, hardware, printer, scanner, software, and have internet accessibility.
AAMI has built an allowance into the cost of attendance for all enrolled and transfer students, which increases eligibility for financial aid. The allowance covers the minimum AAMI computer and equipment purchase and is adjusted annually.
Adding an allowance to the student’s COA does not necessarily mean financial aid funds will increase to cover the expense. If a student has already borrowed the maximum amount, is not eligible for a supplemental loan or does not have any remaining funding sources, there may be no financial aid to assist with the purchase of a computer or equipment.
To determine if there are any sources of financial aid available, students should contact the AAMI Office of Financial Aid.
Whether using a laptop already owned, or buying a new one, it should meet the System Requirements criteria found under the Student Services Tab located on AAMI’s website, www.funeraleducation.org.
